I have a simple pair of Japanese nail clippers [2] that I bought at Narita 20+ years ago (less nice than OP), but still sharp and they cut through nails so much smoother and with less pressure than any American clippers I have seen or used. Sure, you can you a $2 knife for cooking, but it’s just nicer and easier using a quality instrument. Even if you don’t go for top of the line just doubling the quality from bottom of the barrel is a big improvement. I just ordered a pair of these clippers. I’d say these aren’t luxury by any means, just quality middle of the road clippers. I got an award a few years ago and used my points to pick up a Wusthof manicure set [1]. That’s what a luxury set of tools looks like and it cost around $300. That said I still start by trimming my nails with the Japanese nail clippers I bought all those years ago.
