On a sourcing visit to a flatware manufacturer in Sanjo City, Japan, the serving and plating spoons were the original reason for the trip - but these tweezers immediately stood out. The shape, tension, and precision felt right for professional kitchen work, so CKTG added them to the lineup under the Kohetsu house brand.
Made in Japan, these tweezers are designed for detailed plating and delicate prep tasks. The fine, edged tips provide excellent grip, allowing confident placement of microgreens, herbs, and small garnishes with precision. They also work well for pulling pin bones from fish or handling small ingredients where control matters. Each pair is engraved with Kohetsu and "Be Happy," the brand message - a small detail that more than one reviewer has called out as a genuinely nice touch.
What Customers Are Saying: Six reviewers, mixed but mostly positive. John B calls them good quality and notes they work well for a variety of tasks. Michael Aldridge praises the sharp handling, grip, and the "Be Happy" engraving, though he wished they came in a Japanese box like the knives do. Jake Z used them to pull bones from salmon fillets on first use and found them well suited for the job. The honest counterpoint worth knowing: one reviewer found the steel bends under pressure and the edges can slip during pinning, making fish processing more difficult. Jon found them somewhat flexible and says he may try a thicker alternative next time. At this price point, they are a reasonable starting point for cooks who want to try plating tweezers without a larger investment.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry thoroughly after use. Do not place in the dishwasher. Avoid abrasive scrubbers. Store in a dry place to protect the tips.

Hmmm... look for $15 these are good. Something a little more rigid would be nice. If you put to much pressur won them they twist. They do twist right back again but I know ... I think I'll try the CK2go ones next time they look abit thicker

Sharp, great handeling and grip and they say be happy! I wish it came in a little Japanese box like the knives do but it didn't. Would have been a cool box to add to my collection of fine Japanese blades and the boxes the cane in.

These weren't my first choice, but were closest in price to the set I intended to order. (CKTG seemed to be out at the time.) I've only used them once so far, but have served well pulling bones from salmon fillets. And they fit nicely in my knife roll.
