Yes, it's true: In a drawer the pliers would devour a lot of space. But I simply hung over the kitchen bar and because it looks great and very noble and also does not take away extra space. I think it is the best instrument to give up pasta of various shapes on a plate. You can also good sauce "spoons" or grab a piece of vegetable or shrimp, mushrooms, etc. with it. I have otherwise ever found no comparable offer. Since it was delighted to see that this wonderful pliers is offered precisely to my "Silk" cutlery that I call my own for a few months. Full marks!
