These clippers are not at all like the common American (where ever made) clippers. They do not crush the nail, causing ragged edges, they cut clean. The razor sharp edges meet exactly, and trim your nails or trim away hang nails like no clippers you have ever experienced.
After about five years, we have revived the CIA Letter Opener. Designed in the mid-1970's, it was based on the A. G. Russell™ all steel Sting 1A and has been one of our most popular items of all time. This is the world's toughest letter opener.
Based on the work of inventor Louis Graves, here is a compact sharpener that will do it all. Two diamond rods for establishing a new bevel and/or thinning a dull blade. Two ceramic rods of very high alumina content to put that razor sharp finished edge on the blade.
The ceramic sharpener was invented by Louis Graves. We have always disagreed with Louis about the proper angle for the rods, but in every other way, he really knew what he was doing.
