A cutting blade actuating link for actuating a cutting blade of a guillotine-type animal nail or artificial nail clipper. The link is in the form of a thin flat body having an integral hook formation at one end adapted for insertion into an aperture in the blade and a blade-release finger tab at the opposite end. The link hook has an inside peripheral edge concave surface to thereby define a hook eye interior surface inclined generally at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of said body. The link has a dumb bell shaped through-opening for receiving both a pivot pin for mounting the blade to the clipper handle and the hook end of the clipper handle spring. Progressive die stamping method, apparatus and punch and die tooling are also disclosed for making the link.
