Stay-Sharp Nippers

The 15-inch nippers introduced by Mustad are one inch longer than the company’s standard model, with wider jaws and a longer handle for greater cutting leverage. Specially designed stops prevent the blades from hitting just before cutting, which keeps the hardened cutting edge sharp. The rounded corners and reinforced jaw provide durability and a solid, non-springy feel.
