but when you need them, you need them,
they are tweezers, although examples of them have been found dating back thousands of years, these new hi-tech ones have been on sale in Japan for just 2 years or so, well now thanks to Japanese company wāqwāq Inc. they are being made available outside of Japan,
last month wāqwāq started a crowdfunding campaign to make them available
worldwide, with only 3 days to go, they’ve already reached their funding goal,
originally, Tweezers of Legend were made of stainless steel
and were designed only as miniature sword, but wāqwāq has since started making
them from titanium,
according to the Kickstarter description, Tweezers of
Legend are manufactured by wire electric discharge machining, “In this way wire
electric discharge machining can cut metal vertically with high precision. This
is the feature that is necessary to increase the accuracy of tweezers,” the manufacturer writes, “The tip of the tweezers works by matching two flat faces.
If there is only a slight distortion on that side, a gap will be formed and you
will not be able to grab the thin hair. Tweezers of Legend made with wire
electric discharge machining has high precision so that you can grasp the
fibers of tissue paper.”
and if that were not enough, here is the video, and no I am not on commission, I just thought they looked like a great new take on a item that has been around for thousands of years, and you can see more of them on this twitter page.
