Gestura Petite Stando Tweezer - Silver
£20.00 GBP
Unit price perStando's smaller sibling - Petite Stando. Light and quick, Petite Stando is our answer to the offset plating tweezer. At 8 inches it's comfortable nestled on the front of your apron, and ready to help plate on the pass. You'll find sharpened tips and a balanced tension between the tongs, allowing for precise placement and a strong grip.
Form-
We ditched the bland and clinical look of tongs, and replaced it with a soft streamlined shape. The namesake feature, a curved stand in the middle of the tool provides a wide surface area for finger placement and grip. The stand also keeps the tips elevated off the ground while not in use. Each piece is stamped, etched, and finished by hand at Mr. Ando’s workshop.

FAQs
What is the difference between Stando and Petite Stando?
Stando is a 10" all-purpose tool designed to act like a more nimble tong. Stando has rounded tips and is comfortable anywhere you would use tongs like stirring noodles, grilling, sautéing veg, or flipping chicken. Petite Stando is 8" and has pointed tips and is a more dedicated plating tweezer, designed for delicate tasks like garnishing or handling small things.
I don't work in a restaurant, why should I buy Stando?
Tweezers have long been a secret weapon in pro kitchens. Where clunky collapsible tongs can rip or tear food and feel like cooking with two giant thumbs, tweezers are delicate and nimble allowing an opportunity to interact with your food with more control and intimacy. In addition to being a great cooking companion, Stando also works well as a serving utensil - from tinned fish to charcuterie boards and salads.

This thing IS THE BUSINESS!
Words can't explain how amazing this knife is to use and gaze at! It's my second bunka and my go to knife for everyday prep. Gyuto's aren't getting a look in at the moment. I LOVE it. Thanks Chefs Edge 👊🏽

Super Thin Bevels
The bevels being so thin makes it easy to achieve a crazy sharp edge and cut dense vegetables rather than splitting them. The kiritsuke tip also makes precise cuts such as on garlic possible. A pleasure to use
James Palmer
Great product, great service
Very happy with my purchase. First time customer, ordered and received a knife that had a chip which occurred during shipment. The staff at Chefs Edge were very prompt in communication and really helpful in resolving the matter. They sent out a new knife and arrived in time for a birthday. The knife itself is great quality and looks better than the photos. Overall, very happy and will be a return customer!

Beautiful Knife
As the title says, an absolutely beautiful knife. Even better than the photos. Shipping was also reasonable. Very happy, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic knife with beautifully curated handle
Got this as a gift for one of my younger cooks who has been going above and beyond this year. Not only is the caretaking aspect of high carbon steels such as shirogami a great teacher for any future knives they may own, but its such a beautiful tsuchime finish with a fantastic grind that I found myself drooling over it aswell. 10/10 recommend not only Tsunehisa as a maker but Chefs Edge as a curator and purveyor of immaculate kitchen knives.
