Description
- OLD-FASHIONED - These vintage files are NOT for everyone. They are produced using old traditional machinery which leaves blemishes and imperfections on the filing surface. It's part of the charm.
- HANDMADE IN SOLINGEN GERMANY - There is only one person left who knows how to set up the machinery that makes these files. Soon the craft will be lost and the traditional triple cut file will become extinct! Take the opportunity now to preserve a piece of history.
- FILING VS SANDING - Most files are made like sand paper, by gluing harsh abrasives to the surface which rip & tear natural nail layers AND the glued surface wears off with use. Metal nail files evenly file away nail layers causing less damage. The surface is permanent and will last FOREVER.
- HOW TO CHOOSE? Triple cut files are rough and aggressive! If you are looking for a more modern gentle file check out GERMANIKUREs glass straight and moon shaped nail file collection.
- GERMANIKURE refuses to participate in child labor and worldwide pollution. All of our products are handcrafted in socially and environmentally responsible facilities and are GUARANTEED FOR LIFE. Feel good about your purchase.
SIZE: 9cm Traditional Craftsmanship The GERmanikure triple cut files are crafted on the same machines that created your grandparents' trusty files. There are very few factories left that still use these machines and even fewer artisans remain that have the skills to adjust these machines. GERmanikure triple cut files are neatly grooved without burrs or deep valleys and this kind of quality consistency is impossible to achieve with modern machinery. You can easily see this attention to detail under magnification. When there are no burrs to gouge and no valleys to abrade the nail surface is not sanded and ground it is smoothed and polished. Multi-purpose The double sided textured grooves have a strong enough bite for use on artificial nails yet the file spine has enough flex so that it can prevent damage to natural nails. The pointed tip is well suited for removing debris that accumulates from beneath the nail and the curved base can be used to carefully push back and help remove cuticle overgrowth from the surface of the nail. High Carbon Stainless Steel Old world design and modern high carbon stainless steel combine in GERmanikure's FINOX line of tools to make them rust proof and almost indestructible. The formulation for High Carbon Stainless Steel is precisely and carefully controlled to contain just enough iron cobalt chromium and other minerals so that it is just as strong as traditional high carbon steel but also is just as care free and rust resistant as common stainless steel. Leather Case Even though this triple cut file is crafted of the finest modern materials and designed to last for decades it comes complete with a custom fitted leather sleeve to protect it even further. Leather is naturally cushioning and dehumidifying. The case will prevent damage to the file when it is not in use as well as help wick away any condensation that may accumulate on the cool steel.
