fish tweezers

jsut need a few for round the house and boat. what do i need to be looking for?
i see non slip, round, and square as options btu dont know waht all that means to the user. any info will be a big help

 

I'd say like most YMMV, I have round with rubber handles that do the job ok but I often use flat square ones that I like better and would recommend first. The average size of fish may also play into what will work best

 

so its more to do with the "tip" of the tweezers?

 

why dont you ask taro about it! he has some insane hand made ones from japan. you should make a pair identical to his! and then sell us all some of course

 

Japanese knife imports has all these shapes on their site. Looks like different between round and square is just how it transitions from the long sides to the tip.

 

I have one of Kurata's tweezers and they are awesome. The secret is in the tip, but I don't know what it really is, but am guessing that it is thin, precise, but edge is not too sharp to cut though soft bones.

I have a set of the medium sized forged tweezers from Jon, They are awesome!!! They make a big difference. I was debating buying them, but I'm really happy I did. I use them from small fish (400g) up to 8kg and never had a problem. Do it Butch
