I wish Van Staal made toe nail clippers

Tarponator

Curved!

FWIW, here's the Shimano version: https://www.amazon.com/Seki-Edge-2-piece-Grooming-G-3101/dp/B000SC2E68/ref=sr_1_66_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1488360450&sr=8-66&keywords=fingernail+clippers+stainless+steel

I picked up a slightly different pair from the same manufacturer last year while over on that side of the world. They are the finest I've seen.

Not quite Van Staal, but quite a step above what you typically find.
