Eeejumpe Japanese Fish Bone Tweezers

Highly functional. The ground tips come together with a close fit that easily grips bones protruding only a short distance from the cut fish surface. Beautifully made of hardened 18-8 (type 304) stainless steel, they are work hardened--cold bent and formed--giving the tweezers' good spring recovery and magnetic properties from the resulting ferritic state of the 304 stainless. Highly polished for easy and thorough cleaning by hand or in a dishwasher. Speeds the removal of pin bones common in salmon filets. When the tweezers gripping the bone are pulled away not so fast that the bone breaks before releasing from the fish tissue, the bone extraction is reliably repeatable. Only problem is they're easy to misplace; fortunately they will stick to a magnetic knife bar for organization. Purchasing and using these tweezers before dining is much less expense and trouble than a visit to an emergency room to have the bones removed from your guest's throat later.

works as designed. easy to pull bones with this one.

Es bueno como lo esperaba perfecto

If you eat a lot of fish, as I do, fishbones are an inevitable annoyance. Yes, you can use any old tweezer or even a pair of pliers to remove them but this is stuff you're going to eat, buy a dedicated tweezer you know is totally clean. These tweezers curve around at the tips so you grasp only the bone, none of the flesh. They are nicely engineered, each part of the broad head meets precisely; it really makes quick work of de-boning. They're good quality heavy stainless steel and made in Japan where they really understand the art of fish preparation!

Avid salmon fisherman but hate eating around bones and I was so sick of picking bones with a pair of pliers that I had taken to just cutting out the small strip of meat with bones in it. I strongly doubted that these could really be that much better than a pair of pliers but took a chance. I am so glad that I did. These work SO much better! Grips the bones and pops them right out. Hard to believe that something so simple could be so much better but they are. Take a chance…you’ll be glad you did.

I haven't had an opportunity to test these tweezers for removing salmon bones, but they do have more than one purpose. It could be an anomaly, but my tweezers do not have the mated surfaces needed for gripping things. That means I can't even pluck a single stray hair or a bothersome hangnail unless I can file, sand or grind flat mated surfaces into these nicely shaped tweezers. Overall, they have a very nice appearance and are thick enough for a solid grip. I can't rate them as a five star tool because they are incapable of pulling out anything.

They do the job - very easy to grab and pull out fish bones. This is the 2nd one i buy of these to replace an old one. If you cook fish, these are awesome and just the right size. The item i received is exactly as pictured, flat tip, they grip well. We eat fish a couple of time a week and these are essential. It can't see what other tool I can possibly use to remove a bone without ripping the fish apart - these really preserve the flesh. They work on any type of fish.

I had the same experience as other reviewers - the product pictured is not what I received. Rather than a flat tip, I too got an angled tip (which didn't even line up essentially rendering this useless). Additionally, the packaging around the tweezers themselves arrived open to the point where I could slide the tweezers in and out without any effort. Further, the packaging indicates that the product was made in China vs. Japan as stated on the Amazon page. Update: I complained to the seller about receiving a different product and they mailed me the correct product. This one came without any packaging at all, but it seems to be much higher quality. While the seller was pretty responsive, I wouldn't order this unless you're willing to complain when you get the wrong item.
