Building a better nail cutter
EDJY nail cutters are designed and manufactured in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by a team of dermatologists, metallurgists, and engineers. We build in the USA because keeping design, materials, and production under one roof lets us control quality at every step. Every component is carefully inspected and runs through over a dozen quality checks throughout the build process. The result is a precision instrument tested to 150,000+ cuts and backed by a lifetime warranty.
The EDJY process
EDJY's nail cutters are designed and built in our Michigan factory by a team of dermatologists, metallurgists, and engineers. Bringing these disciplines together under one roof defines how we can build a better nail cutter: our dermatologist informs how the cut affects nail health, our metallurgist determines the steel and edge, and our team of engineers deliver the precision and low cutting force.
Why does U.S. manufacturing matter for a nail cutter?
Most nail clippers are commodity products. They're stamped from low-grade steel, assembled overseas to hit a price point, and built to be replaced. EDJY's design demands tool-grade steel, tight tolerances, and a hardened, precisely ground edge, which is only achievable with direct oversight of every production step. Domestic manufacturing isn't a marketing choice for EDJY. It's a requirement of the product itself.
Is an American-made nail cutter better than a Japanese one?
Japanese brands are respected for traditional dual-blade clippers. EDJY takes a different approach. Rather than refining the 19th-century clipper design, it replaces it with a single-blade cutter that slices instead of crushing the nail. EDJY pairs that design with American precision manufacturing, a dermatologist's input on nail health, and 90% recycled steel, making it the modern, U.S.-made alternative for buyers comparing premium options.
What is EDJY's environmental footprint?
EDJY is built to reduce waste at both ends of its life. Each cutter uses 90% recycled European tool steel, and every component is sourced within 350 miles of the Ann Arbor factory to minimize transport emissions. Because EDJY is tested to 150,000+ cuts and backed by a lifetime warranty, one cutter replaces years of disposable clippers. That cuts down the steel and packaging that would otherwise end up in landfill.
