[YAXELL] Launches "Neko no Anzen Tsume Kiri," a Pet Nail Clipper Crafted by Seki Blade Artisans

YAXELL Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative: Yoshihisa Yamada) will launch "Neko no Anzen Tsume Kiri," a professional-grade nail clipper for cats utilizing the technology of blade manufacturers from Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, a renowned cutlery production area. The product will be released on July 17, 2026 (Fri.) with a retail price of 1,980 yen (tax included).

Applying Knife, Scissor, and Nail Clipper Technology to Pet Products

YAXELL has continuously produced "cutting tools" such as knives, scissors, and nail clippers, leveraging the techniques cultivated in the Seki blade production region. This product is the result of applying the blade sharpening and design technology honed through the creation of nail clippers and scissors for human use to a pet nail clipper.

In recent years, the number of households welcoming pets as family members has increased, leading to a growing demand for safer and more professional-quality pet products. On the other hand, many owners struggle with cat nail trimming, fearing accidental deep cuts or finding it difficult to cut properly, thus expanding the need for specialized tools that can be used without anxiety.

Therefore, YAXELL has focused on developing a cat nail clipper that balances "sharp cutting performance" with "safety to prevent deep cuts," utilizing the blade technology cultivated over many years in creating tools for human life. This is a pet nail clipper with reliable sharpness and ease of use, made possible by a blade manufacturer.

Each Blade Sharpened by Hand by Seki Blade Artisans

Seki City is one of Japan's leading cutlery production areas, possessing high blade manufacturing technology derived from sword making.

This product is manufactured by blade makers who inherit this traditional technology, with artisans carefully sharpening each blade by hand.

It can cleanly and smoothly cut even hard nails, resulting in a finish that is less burdensome for pets.

Prevents Deep Cuts with Patented Stopper Function

The biggest feature of this product is its unique stopper mechanism that prevents deep cuts by coming into contact with the nail.

This stopper is an original design that has been patented and is detachable.

For adult cats with long nails, the stopper can be removed to allow for a firm cut, similar to a regular nail clipper.

This user-friendly design adapts to the cat's age and nail condition, fitting into the household.
