Global Specialized Tools

Salmon, trout and arctic char fillets carry a row of fine pin bones that a knife cannot remove. These 4.5-inch Global tweezers have wide, flat tips that close flush against each other, so they grip the end of a pin bone firmly and pull it out without tearing the flesh around it.The best technique is to run a finger along the fillet to find each bone, grip it with the tips, and pull in the direction the bone points, toward the head. The wide tips spread the pressure along the bone, which keeps thin bones from snapping off below the surface. The short length gives close control over a fillet on the board, and the one-piece design has no hinge or spring to trap fish scales.For tweezers with a curved body and wider tips, see the Global Curved Fish Bone Tweezers. Pair either with a fillet knife such as the Global Classic 8-inch Flexible Fillet Knife or, for whole sides of salmon, the Global Classic 11-inch Flexible Fillet Knife. Learn More

Working down a full side of salmon is faster with tweezers that catch more than one bone at a time. These Global tweezers have wide, beveled tips that can grip two or three pin bones together, and a curved body that keeps the hand clear of the fillet as you work.The wide body fills the hand and gives a firm grip, which helps when pulling bones from oily fish. The tapered tips hold each bone tightly but close gently enough that thin bones do not snap. The curve also sets the tips at a natural angle to the fish, so you can pull toward the head without twisting the wrist.For a shorter, straight pair suited to smaller fillets, see the Global Fish Bone Tweezers. Both pair well with the Global Classic 11-inch Flexible Fillet Knife for salmon. Learn More

Global designed these 8.25-inch shears for the cutting jobs a knife handles awkwardly: snipping chives and dill over a finished dish, trimming the fat and skin from chicken thighs, cutting greens, and opening packaging. Global describes them as multipurpose kitchen scissors for poultry and vegetables.The shears match the Global knives on the counter and are easy to clean, with no plastic grips to collect food. On poultry, they trim excess skin and separate wings at the joint.The shears are also part of the Global Classic 10-Piece Takashi Knife Block Set. For delicate plating and turning food in the pan, see the Global Classic 11.75-inch Pincet Utility Tongs. Learn More
