Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global GS-29 - 5 inch, 13cm Fish Bone Tweezers
Customer Review: Overpriced; only for tiny, easy-to-remove bones
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Customer Review: What else do you expect from Global?
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
