The sharpening and finishing techniques that support cutting performance
What's noteworthy about Green Bell products is their focus on sharpness and ease of use, aspects that users directly experience.
For example, some of the company's high-end nail clippers use carefully selected stainless steel blades and employ techniques such as high-hardness heat treatment and double sharpening. Polishing and adjustment by skilled craftsmen are also important processes that support the sharpness of the products.

In addition to nail clippers, we also handle other tools such as tweezers and scissors, where precise processing and finishing significantly impact usability.

Initiatives to support Japanese manufacturing:
What MJM particularly wants to highlight is Green Bell's commitment to domestic manufacturing.
In an interview with the company president, it was explained that approximately 95% of their products are manufactured domestically, including the final processing. The interview also covered their quality-focused inspection system and the development of their own original products.
Of course, this percentage is based on the information provided at the time of the interview and does not guarantee that all products are made in Japan today. However, products made in Japan are clearly marked with a "MADE IN JAPAN" symbol in the product details.
Choose Japanese-made products for even the small tools you use every day.
Nail clippers and tweezers are tools that you often use for a long time after purchasing them. That's why it's worthwhile to choose them carefully, paying attention to their sharpness, finish, and ease of use.
