Usually yes
Nail clippers, tweezers and nail files are generally permitted in both carry-on and checked baggage. The rules tighten for anything with a blade over a short length.
Scissors are the exception
Scissors are allowed in the cabin only where the blades are under 6 cm from the pivot. Anything longer belongs in checked baggage.
