Product Information
Full details
Designed for professional chefs and home culinary enthusiasts who prioritize precision, the Japanese Knife Company 20cm Heavy Tweezers serve as an essential upgrade for handling delicate ingredients that standard tongs cannot manage effectively. These tweezers offer exceptional pincer tension and a secure serrated grip, making them ideal for plating or flipping small proteins like prawns, scallops, and fillets. While they excel in detail-oriented tasks, users should note that they are not a replacement for heavy-duty cooking tongs intended for turning large, dense cuts of meat.

How do I keep them from rusting?
While stainless steel is durable, ensure they are dried immediately after cleaning to prevent surface oxidation.
Are these suitable for left-handed use?
Yes, the symmetrical design is perfectly comfortable for both left-handed and right-handed users.
What is the exact length of the tool?
This model measures exactly 20cm in total length.
Troubleshooting
Pincer tips have become misaligned
Gently apply pressure to bend the tips back into a neutral, parallel position.
Food residue stuck in serrated edges

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tweezers require no setup and are ready for immediate use out of the packaging. To maintain the integrity of the serrated tips, avoid using them on hard surfaces or metal pans unnecessarily, as this can dull the grip over time. While the product is dishwasher safe, hand-washing with mild detergent and drying thoroughly is recommended to preserve the finish and prevent water spotting. Always store in a knife roll or utensil block to protect the tips from misalignment.
