Curved forceps

[Jim Mason]

I found a great selection of inexpensive and decently made tweezers, forceps, etc. with a vendor at a craft fair a few years back.  You might try attending a similar venue in your area and/or inquiring with craft shops.

  Tony and others-

  I wish to purchase forceps for spreading butterflies.  I've never made this distinction; those that I currently use are designed for animal surgery.  As you point out, these can be expensive, so a suggestion as to which type is best (or you prefer) would be helpful.

    Take a look at:

    They list 102 forceps; they are not inexpensive however!
