Cuticle scissors

Cuticle scissors are small, fine scissors with curved, thin and pointed blades, which are used to remove loose cuticle skin.

Cuticle scissors with a special ground tip (tower tip) have a particularly fine, thin blade.

In order not to damage the thin tip, cuticle scissors should only be used for their intended purpose.
