I like the Kostiner K601 stainless steel tongs. 7 inches long and 1 inch
wide so they are
comfortable to hold. The top blade has a rubber pad on the emulsion side.
The bottom
blade has no pad, so slips easily under the print. I've never marked a
print, even when 
using Nelson gold toner at 110F.

Unfortunately, a quick search didn't turn up a retail supplier. (Glad I
bought a spare set.)
They are (were) distributed by Saunders (Tiffen?). Not sure what the 
status is now.


I'll second this opinion. However, I have seen them only used and on ebay.


Actually, mine is the Hop Lee Sing Tong, from a Dashell Hammet story.
