Abstract: Provided is a triangular-shaped clipper for a nail made of a pair of cooperative jaws having a plurality of connected sharpened concave or convex edges which register with each other by activation of a triangular-shaped lever member, the jaws having a normal tendency to separate, the lever member being mounted hingedly and turnably onto a means connecting said jaws for directing a force from said lever member to close said jaws, each of said jaws having an edge which exhibits a design comprised of at least three connected convex or concave arches with a side flap or extension of one side of the lower jaw such that the extension exhibits a curved shape which extends a distance and curves such that it wraps the edge of the finger or toe to hold or register the place or position of the cutting edges relative to the nail to maintain the pattern produced by the ornamental cutting edges on the nail at the same relative position on all nails cut.
