    I was reading from the Tenkara USA website about their UL forceps and nippers and wondering if anyone else found a lighter set elsewhere?

    Here’s the specs:

    Forceps
    Weight: 0.86oz (24.3grams)
    Jaw length: .9 inches (2.3cm)
    Total Length:4.3 inches (10.9cm)
    Features: flat tip, serrated inside, pin to open hook eyes

    Nippers
    Weight (incl. metal chain): .29oz (8.2grams)
    Length: 2 1/8 inches (5.4cm)

    Roger, I just weighed my cheap ones that are right at my desk:

    Hemostats
    Weight .8 oz
    Jaw length: .9 inches (2.3cm)
    Total Length:5 inches

    Nippers
    Weight: .2oz
    Length: 2 1/8 inches

    I purchased these at the discount fishing store- nothing special, just regular old stuff. I haven't looked at the Tenkara website but Id bet I paid a lot less for the same stuff.Hemostat

    I just noticed this post. I concur. The tenkara nipper and forceps are no different really to the standard ones available in most fly fishing shops (nippers and forceps). Same as Dr Slick and cheaper re-branded Chinese or Korean products. I have several pairs of each in several different brands, and they all weigh pretty much the same to within a gram.

    i.e. effective products, and I use these all the time, but the tenkara branded ones don't seem to offer anything special over similar readily available units with different branding.
