The Samurai Nipper has very good durability with excellent cutting feedback, all thanks to the use of a high toughness High Speed Steel (HSS).  This makes the nipper much harder than a stainless steel counterpart, and is more long-lasting.  The reason HSS has both good toughness and high hardness is because it is an alloy of metals and carbon steel.  This is also why all HSS products, such as gears, chains, and high-end nippers, will rust.  To protect the nipper, we must apply a lubricating anti-rust oil.

During production, when joining the two forged blanks together, a rivet is driven into the center at high speed.  This compression creates HSS powder, which, together with the anti-rust oil, are deposited inside the nipper.  As such, when you first start cutting with the Samurai Nipper, you may notice some anti-rust oil being squeezed out around the rivet.  This is a normal phenomenon due to capillary action and vibration during transportation.  Simply work the handles a few time to let the oil seep out.  And just like oiling a chain, the more you work the nipper, the better it cuts.

Moreover, this excess anti-rust oil actually plays a very important part in upkeeping your nipper.  We suggest rubbing the front of a brand new nipper inside the included MAD black protective cap a few times.  This allows the cap to absorb some of the excess anti-rust oil.  Not only does this remove the excess oil, but the cap now plays the role of protecting and maintaining the nipper as well.

After learning about anti-rust oil, let’s take this opportunity to understand the differences between how the Samurai nipper and MH-03 are made.  Both nippers are our highly recommended leading products:

Samurai Nipper:

1. The blade is machined by CNC.  This ensures each nipper has a consistent cutting quality and appearance.

2. The spring is adjusted to give you the best responsiveness.

3. Comes with a metal box and a black leather protective cap, giving it a home sweet home.  Using the nipper is like picking up a brand new one every time.

4. Priced below $1000.  For only $780 you can experience the pleasure of cutting a clean and beautiful nub mark.

MH-03 Nipper:

1. The blade is carefully sharpened by our professional technician by hand.  It is therefore easy to see some grinding marks left on the blade.  The finish is not going to be as neat and beautiful as the Samurai Nipper.  To minimize these scratches created by different grinding grits, we purposefully polished the blade twice, making the surface as smooth as possible.  This also makes the blade thinner and sharper.  So other than some visible grinding marks, MH-03 is an affordable single blade nipper beloved by everyone.

2. The price of $650 each is a sweet deal suitable for anyone with a limited budget.

Whether you preferred the precision-machined Samurai Nipper, or the carefully hand-sharpened MH-03 Single Blade Nipper, just buy one at a time.  Replace it only when the nipper is broken.  That way you will have endless nippers for a lifetime.

武士斜口鉗擁有很好的耐用度與剪切手感，是因為鋼材選用高韌性的高速鋼，他比不鏽鋼剪鉗硬度更高、壽命更長！而高速鋼之所以有高的韌性與良好的硬度，就來自於他的材料是由鋼和鐵組合而成。因此所有高速鋼的產品，例如齒輪、鍊條以及頂級斜口鉗，都是會生鏽的，所以我們一定會塗上一層具有潤滑效果的防鏽油來保護斜口鉗!

在單刃斜口鉗的製程中，兩支單把的鉗子要卯結時，會使用高速鋼柱從中心進行旋轉卯接。而卯接時，擠壓過程會產生高速鋼金屬粉末，這些粉末會與防鏽油一同沉澱在鉗子的底部。

因此，當你收到武士斜口鉗開始剪東西的時候，可能會發現防鏽油「被擠出來」浮現在卯接口的表面，這是毛細現象與運輸晃動所產生的正常現象喔～只要多按幾下讓底部金屬的油浮上來，就跟鏈條上油一樣，越剪越上手。

而且!這些被擠出來的防鏽油其實是你保養斜口鉗很重要的幫手喔! 建議大家搭配我們附贈的 MAD極霧黑保護套，將鉗子插入保護套中來回擦拭幾次，讓保護套內部吸附防鏽油，這樣不僅能擦去多餘的油，還能讓保護套發揮保護與保養的作用！

認識完防鏽油後，我們順便一起了解武士斜口鉗跟 MH-03 的加工差異。這兩把都是我們非常推薦的主力斜口鉗：

武士斜口鉗：

1. 刀刃使用CNC加工，讓每一把鉗子都擁有一致穩定的剪切手感與細緻的外觀！

2. 特別調整彈簧反饋力道，讓你剪起零件有滿滿的回饋感。

3. 附鐵盒與極務黑皮革保護套，準備一個舒適的家，每次拿起來都像重新擁有他一樣

4. 不到千元價格，只要780元就能讓你體驗剪出漂亮湯口的快感！

MH-03斜口鉗：

1. 師傅專業手工研磨，把把用心! 使用手工開刃，所以會有明顯的手工加工痕，無法像武士斜口鉗的刀刃這麼工整與美觀~ 但是!我們為了減少粗目切換到細目研磨時產生的痕跡，特別用了第二段拋光，讓表面盡量變得光滑! 而且這個做法也會讓刀刃更薄更銳利，所以MH-03除了加工痕跡較明顯之外，也是一把大家很喜歡的平價實用斜口鉗喔!!

2. 而且價格很甜，一把只要650! 非常適合有預算考量的朋友

不論是喜歡機械精密加工的「武士斜口鉗」，還是把把用心手工開刃的「MH-03斜口鉗」，一次買一把，用完再換下一把，我們就有一輩子用不完的鉗子啦><

覺得這對兄弟斜口鉗好用的朋友，也希望大家幫忙多多推廣，謝謝大家支持!
