Guys,
Klhip wants to work with the community. We are finalizing the last few details.
The best estimate for the drop right now would be the second half of October.

kunalkumarHoly hell! This poll has almost 1300 votes! That's insane! I didn't know there were so many geeks out there who'd like to own THE BEST DAMNED NAIL CLIPPERS, EVER! :D Thanks for pestering them and helping them to see the light. As far as I can tell, they've never given a break on them before, so this will be awesome.

kunalkumarIt's been only four days aaaaaaand, over 100 more people have voted in this poll! In the esteemed words of Keanu Reeves:
reesOur sample unit arrived yesterday... My nails feel so pampered.

MarkOh HELL yeah! Hey Mark: Describe the awesomeness of the mechanism...how the tool feels. Is it heavy (compared to standard nail clippers)? Smooth operation? Secure feeling? What adjectives would you say? Come on, make me drool more for obscenely priced clippers!
reesThe engineering, finish, details are a piece of art. It's a joy to take it out of its nice packaging and the heft of it is great. From the moment you lay your eyes on it, you know this isn't a dollar-store special.
The lever mechanism is very clever, it bends back upon itself so that it doesn't protrude for easy storage. Once it has been transformed into "cutting" mode, it looks like a device that's ready for serious business.
Holding it in my dominant hand and cutting the nails on my non-dominant hand was pretty easy. A little awkward since the pressure is applied directly above the nail instead of at the end of the lever. Very little pressure is required to achieve a nice, sharp cut. Instead of regular (dullish) nail clippers that have a "springyness", the travel of the cutting end is smooth.
Using my non-dominant hand was a little more awkward but I attribute that to my clumsiness more than a problem with the clipper.
The biggest thing I noticed is that the cut nail has a sharp edge, but it's considerably less sharp than using a typical nail clipper. Normally I have to file my nails a little (on some sort of textured surface- usually my couch) to take off the harshness. This clipper seems to round the edge a little bit (it still feels sharp, just not as sharp). A very nice touch.
In my very scientific A-B test, with a sample size of 2, my typing speed prior to using the Klhip was 104 wpm, and afterward it was 118 wpm.
Overall, I'm definitely getting one for myself.

MarkSo what's the process now that you've gotten their agreement to sell? They send you one to make promo shots of, and then what? Do they send you a limited amount, or is it for a limited time period? Just curious what goes into making a Drop.
