Cruel Clips

I'm not sayin I have the best kept toenails.

Actually, scratch that. My toes are amazing. Ask anyone outside my family and they'll tell ya my toes are fine, especially the nails. Well kept. Tidy. Fine front ends for my feet.

And I keep em tip top with the simple clipper and digger/stick/pokey thingy that came with it. That's it. All it takes. All anyone should ever need for nice toes.

So, what the heck is this sadistic, medieval lookin thing?

When, or WHY, would I ever want to cut my nails into this fiendish shape???
