Would You Believe $650 Manicure Kits

Believe it! You can pay as much as $650 for manicure kits. If you don't believe me, go to Nashville Knife Shop. to see the hand-forged, professional instruments with life-time warranty.

This site has a beautiful selection of manicure kits from Germany, made by a company called Dovo Solingen. The $650 model comes in rare Elk leather with 11 stainless steel implements, including toe nail and cuticle nippers, slant and point tweezers, nail and cuticle scissors, file, pusher and a corn and callus knife. Free shipping is included.

For those on a budget, you can find manicure sets for a mere $325 from Dovo Solingen. You will have to make do with a naphtha leather case, and only 7 stainless steel implements. It includes heavy duty toe nail nipper, finger nail scissors, cuticle scissors, slant tweezers, cuticle knife, cuticle pusher, and a sapphire nail file. With both these sets, the leather cases come with snap frames.

There is a whole a range of manicure kits all the way down to a $99 pair of clippers and a compact 3 piece set for only $35. As with most things made in Germany, you can expect quality craftsmanship and fine, simple lines.

In visiting three other sites, Dovo seems to rule the roost in quality. Of course there are cheaper sets, but they are not worth mentioning because they are only average and are priced at $25.

Perry Ellis and Bombay Noir have nice manicure kits for men, with black leather cases. There are a number of companies that design women's sets that are in various shapes and colors of zipped leather cases.

There are also manicure kits that are a part of what is called travel and grooming kits. These include razors and extra blades, corkscrew/bottle opener, toothbrush, nail clippers, tweezers, safety scissors and shoe horn. The particular set I am referring to here is of dubious value, and is made of chrome plate. The cost is $50, for which you would think you would get stainless steel. I would not recommend chrome plate kits, as I believe they would deteriorate rapidly and may rust or even peel.
