Kikuwa Pine Tweezers

Tweezers intended for use to remove pine needles have deeper notches than ordinary tweezers. This is to ensure that they grip the needles better.

Needles are plucked on pines to balance energy in the tree. Each needle is grasped and pulled in the direction of its growth so that the base of the needle is not damaged. If you come across needles which are difficult to remove they may be cut with trimming scissors.

If the teeth of these tweezers become clogged with pine resin, burn the tip with the flame from a lighter and then remove the burnt resin with a metal brush.

These high quality tweezers are handmade in Japan.
