Nailclip 580 - wow!
on: September 17, 2020, 12:07:46 AM
Is it just me or is the nailclip 580 a pretty awesome EDC? On a recent visit to the Victorinox flagship store in London  - where I was like a kid in a sweet shop - I picked up one of them (among some other things!!) and think the toolset is brilliant. As well as a fantastic urban EDC it makes for a pretty cool fishing companion too with the nail clipper being a favourite for cutting nylon line.

Anyone else got any love for the humble nailclip?

I use the scissor on my classic sd. I am not opposed to nail clippers I have several pairs but I don't need them every day.

As far as the sak. Does the clipper part fold into the knife? How thick is the knife

According to the product page, the Nail Clip 580 is 18.5mm, or almost 3/4". The Evowood version is 19.5mm.

The similar Nail Clip 582, without the blade, file, or scissors, is 15mm.

The nail clipper tool stores reasonably flat. Once it's opened, you flip the lever all the way over to expand it into a functional nail clipper.

I've been carrying a 580 or 582 lately.  The 582 will probably stay in my pocket for a long time to come.  I prefer the thinner of the two variants, and the blade, etc. on the 580 is redundant since I carry other toys.  But I definitely like to have a good nail clipper with me at all times, and the 580/582 fit the bill.  I have also carried the Victorinox and Mr. Green versions (Amazon), and they perform well too.  But I gotta go with a 582.


Victorinox Nail Clip 582.  Just slightly larger than the blue Manager next to it.

As long as you aren't using it to clip nails, it seems fine. Mine separates at the nail clipper hinge far too often. It becomes annoying to constantly reattach it.

I think it is a great idea that was not executed well.
The right tool is the one you have on you

Love it, it's a good nail Clipper and has a good file too. I carry it in my work back pack  :tu:

No, I'm pretty sure we are still talking about the awesome topic of nail clippers.   :cheers:

If you look closely at the mechanism, its a somewhat impressive (to me, anyway) feat of engineering.  The kind of thing you never notice if you aren't looking for it.

I'm not even going to comment on that matter, as I don't want to start any unnecessary arguments...

I like it very much, but as a Wenger fan I do prefer their (original) version.

Bought like 3 or 4 from them, n.i.b., at -50% discount if I'm not mistaken.





Edit: And Misses TG-24 bought herself the Vic version during our vacation in Switzerland, back in 2015 (I did not own mine back then  ;)).

I have to agree, you can’t beat the Wenger original - mine came in a metal box stored somewhere for safety.... :facepalm:

A gorgeous Wenger original with sapphire scales caught my eye in a local shop some months ago. It was priced at more than I was prepared to spend - but now I wonder if it's still there...

You should definitely go back, just to check if it's still there...  :pok:

Don't worry, I got over it quickly enough. Honestly, given my priorities when it was available, it didn't feel like a good spend.
