[That one - 59] Not the nail clipper in the nail clipper set. "That one".

"You know what, that." Introduce the name and history of an object that is commonly encountered in everyday life but does not know its name. Even the most insignificant things are born out of a pretty tumultuous appearance, ambitious inventions, the cultural codes of the day, and desperate needs. [That History] is usually directed at a pleasant, sometimes intelligent, sometimes humorous journey that follows its trail.

Noun. 1. Earpies, files, cuticle nail clippers (beauty scissors), nose hair scissors, cuticle trimmer, V-blade push, tweezers, etc. [Example] When I opened the nail clippers set I received as a souvenir, I noticed the file, cuticle scissors, push rod, and nose hair scissors.

These are earpicks, pushers, files, and cuticle scissors. None of the items I received as a souvenir follow a nail clipper set for good use. If you open the case that looks luxurious at first glance, it glows silver with nail clippers and various tools neatly inserted. I even feel like I opened James Bond's briefcase full of secret weapons. But I don't know the name of the door except for the nail clipper. Even things that you can't even guess about their purpose are placenta. The nail clipper set is so diverse in its composition (from 3 to 11 types at a minimum), so it explains its name and purpose by pointing it out one by one.

First of all, it's the main character, the nail clipper. In English, it is called a nail clipper. In Japanese, it is called Tsumekiri (爪切り), which is commonly pronounced as Tsume-gan in Korea. Not only is it a Japanese expression in everyday life, but it is also a slang for a reserved wage "cut like a fingernail" at a construction site. Let's call it a nail clipper if possible.

It is a simple structure consisting of an upper blade, a lower blade, and a handle, but it is also an object of a real engineering design with the principle of levers of support points, force points, and action points. It is hard to see in Korea, but there are also pliers-shaped nail clippers that look like nippers or pliers. Japan's Swada Produces High-end Nail Clippers in the KRW 100,000 rangeThe production company's "nail nipper" product is representative. It depends on the product, but in general, a string knife is attached to the handle side to grind or grind the sharp cut nail edges.

Prior to the development of nail clippers, nail clippers were cut using scissors or knives, and primitive forms of nail clippers were also found as artifacts from BC. Then, who was the first to invent the modern nail clippers? Around 1880, a number of enemies appeared on their fingernails and began applying for nail clippers patents. A patent filed in 1875 by Valentine Fogerty of the United States under the name of a finger-nail trimmer is the oldest known patent so far. However, the appearance is completely different from today's nail clippers. After several improvements, it wasn't until 1881 that nail clippers similar to the current design appeared.

Three Seven, Bell Metal Industries, Royal Metal Industries, and Miseong Metal, Korean companies, are widely known nail clippers in the world. In particular, Three Seven (formerly Daesung Metal) gained fame in 1995 when Boeing of the United States filed a lawsuit to suspend the use of the trademark over the right to use the trademark name 777. Thanks to Boeing, Daesung Metal Co., Ltd., which has achieved significant promotional effects, has adopted the filial son 777 (three seven) as its trade name. Bocas, a Korean brand, developed a nail clipper that can rotate blades in 2004 and introduced a new form factor in the conservative nail clipper market.

As a side story, when assembling a plastic model (assembled) toy as a child, a "friend who has assembled a little bit" used a nail clipper as a substitute for a nipper. The plastic parts attached to the frame are damaged when the parts are opened in a round and round, but using a cutter is dangerous, so a nail clipper with good cutting power and safe nail clippers has become a substitute.

It is called a file, with irregularities engraved in horizontal lines at regular intervals on a flat and thin iron plate. It is also called a string for polishing nails. Middle-aged people who are familiar with Japanese expressions are sometimes called Yasuri (やすり, 鑢). It is used before or after the nail is cut to make the tip of the nail smooth. It is mainly used to grind corners that are difficult to finish smoothly with a nail clipper alone. Although not included in the nail clipper set, a beauty device that polishes and glosses the surface of a nail claw is called a nail buffer or a nail shiner. For a man who doesn't care about manicures, it's just a 'hard sponge stick rolling around on the dressing table'.

It also contains small scissors. Scissors have different uses depending on the shape of the end. Scissors with sharp and curved blades are 'cuticle (beauty) scissors', and scissors with rounded or blunt edges are 'nose hair scissors'. It's not a mustache. Nose hair that grows on the mucous membranes inside the nose plays an important role in preventing dust from entering, but when it protrudes out of the nose, it is a factor that greatly harms the aesthetics. Even the handsome and beautiful women of the world have a flaw in their nose hair. If you pull out your nose hair by hand, it is recommended to cut it off with a blunt nose hair scissors because there is a risk of infection. It can also be used to organize baby nails that are difficult to use nail clippers.

Cuticles are calluses around fingernails (mainly on the root side) and are pushed up or cut out for cosmetic purposes. Cuticle scissors are used to push up cuticles that are softened using moisture and chemicals, and then cut them off to organize them. Among the "it" included in the nail clippers set, there is also a nail clipper whose blade is obliquely slanted, which is a cuticle nail clipper (cuticle trimmer) used to cut off cuticles pushed up like cuticle scissors. The manufacturer introduces that it can also be used to organize newborn nails and debris around nails. There is also a cuticle nipper that is used for the same purpose.

There is also a push rod (pusher) used to push up cuticles. In particular, for many men who have never received nail care, they are very curious about the use of a push rod with a round metal plate. But like most men, they just pass on without knowing. Among the push rods, there is also a 'V-shaped push rod' with the tip dug in a V-shape and a blade standing along the cut. This object is used to cut off cuticles that have been pushed up. Cuticle care is an essential course for nail beauty, but it is forbidden to remove it without intention. This is because it protects the root part where nail growth begins and prevents bacterial penetration.

Earpick (Ear Swab), which digs out earwax, is an object that looks like a small spatula. It is familiar to Koreans, but it is also unfamiliar to Westerners with genetically damp earwax. Most Asians, especially Koreans, have dry earwax. Due to the different characteristics of earwax, Westerners mainly remove earwax with cotton swabs, and in the East, a method of scraping it out using earwigs has been established. This is why it is extremely oriental to clean your ears with earplugs with family members. In the past, earpicks were also used as jewelry. It is presumed that it was made of gold or decorated with colorful decorations and inserted into the head like a nanny, and then used in case of emergency (?).

There are tweezers, too. I use it to pull out gray hair, but let's leave it because hair is precious. In the not-too-distant period, there may be a situation where each and every one of them is disappointing.
