Nearly a foot of heavy black beak on the end of a metre-three of bird, carried on legs the colour of a fire engine, wading the floodplains and billabongs of the north.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch one hunt and you'll see the whole design brief. It stands motionless in the shallows, waits, and then strikes — and what happens next is the interesting part. It doesn't stab. It grips. The bill closes on a fish or a frog, holds it, carries it, gives it a wash, flips it, and swallows it head first. All of that is done at arm's length, with total control, by an animal that never once puts its face near the thing it's holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a whole class of tool built on that idea, and this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTongs are the most-used thing at any barbecue and usually the worst thing on the bench. Flimsy arms that flex when you need them not to. Tips that don't meet. A handle that quietly becomes as hot as the food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJen fixes the three that matter. The jaws are serrated, so a sausage doesn't roll and a chop doesn't slide free halfway to the plate. The tip is a separate piece of steel, joined at the pivot so heat stays where it belongs — on the meat, not travelling up the arm to your hand. And the arms are stiff enough to lift a whole rested rump without folding, which is the difference between turning meat and chasing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong reach, precise grip, and no need to put your hand anywhere near the fire. Exactly what the bird does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Titanium-coated stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaws:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serrated, uncoated stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Separated steel heat break at the pivot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colour-matched screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 340mm Full Length | 320mm (not include lock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 207g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engraved \u003cem\u003eKoi Knives Australia\u003c\/em\u003e along the arm, with hanging ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild \/ Australian Animal BBQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBracketed figures pending final production spec.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koi Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377941299388,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3098\/1008\/files\/Jabiru.png?v=1788134637","url":"https:\/\/www.koiknives.com\/products\/jen-the-jabiru-australian-bbq-tongs","provider":"Koi Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
