Product Description

A perfect seafood meal can be ruined when diners end up "fishing" out bones between bites. This innovative tool, the fish bone tweezers, is from Global, makers of fine cutlery - the ones used by many sushi chefs. The fish bone tweezers will help you quickly and easily remove pesky bones and such from whole fish. You'll find the attractive modern design includes a textured handle that makes it extra easy to grip and maneuver. The smooth contours and seamless construction prevent food and dirt particles from collecting on the tweezers. Quality stainless construction will remain like new when hand-washed.

Amazon.com Review
These 5-inch tweezers' beveled tips grip fish bones firmly and then pull them out to create perfect fillets. The tweezers complement Global knives and other kitchen tools. They're made of satin-finish stainless steel and are sturdy enough for any job. Like Global's signature knife handles, the tweezers' handles are molded for comfort and dimpled for a safe grip. The tweezers carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Overpriced; only for tiny, easy-to-remove bones
Had high expectations for this, but it simply doesn't work well enough for pulling the kind of long, thin, deeply embedded bones you're likely to find in a large salmon steak or fillet, for example. The jaws aren't toothed, so if the bone gives more than a little resistance to the pull, it'll slip right through. Perhaps if you're working with a smaller, more tender fillet, the broad jaws of these tweezers may make it easy to scrape gently along the flesh and extract minor bones, but otherwise I suggest putting your money toward a good pair of stainless-steel (dishwasher-safe) bone pliers with toothed jaws, such as those available from Wusthof (I recommend their 5880 model), Messermeister, or Gilbert.

Nice looks but.....
I had this product for a while... I have paid quite some money for the Global branded item...I butcher fish among other things on daily basis, as a chef... Performance wise it really works good with bigger fish and bones but it lucks charisma in certain tasks and its more "bulky" than other designs.... The design is good visually and the quality of the product is there ,but i wouldn't part with my trusted fish bone pliers and the set of cheapo japanese tweezers (slanted and straight tip) as they perform good on most occasions....Maybe a redesign in the future will do justice to the price......

What else do you expect from Global?
These Fish Bone Tweezers from Global were the first fishbone tweezers that I encountered while building my kitchen tool arsenel some time ago. The dimpled sides provide good grip, and the metal, although not the prized molybdenum/vanadium steel variety that they mold their larger knives with, is durably hardened and has held its edge well. These tweezers are about the only ones I've tried because so far they've been good enough for anything I've thrown at them. In fact, I've found them highly effective for troublesome bikini line stubble. Global cutlery all have a multipurpose quality to them and these tweezers are no different. Pluck on!
