(54) Nail clipper


(57) A nail clipper (200) provided with cutting edges (212a,214a) having a curvature corresponding to a section and a curve of a nail, in which a blade body (210) can be replaced. In a nail clipper according to one embodiment of the present invention, cutting edges formed at the ends of upper and lower blades of a blade body are curved with a first curvature to the one end of the blade body while being bent with a second curvature with respect to the blade body. In a nail clipper according to another embodiment of the present invention, a blade body is removably received in a casing and a lever for applying force to the blade body is coupled to the casing. Since the blade body can be removably disposed in the casing, thus, it is possible to replace the blade body with one corresponding to the shape and size of the nail.
