How do I use these? What is their length? Are they slippery to hold onto? What color do they come in? I see only the steel color in the main photo. Are they sharp so as to cut of the tongue and I could bleed then?

Thank you for the questions. The Tongue Sweeper is to be used after brushing your teeth each time. Just 3-4 sweeps from the back to the front of the tongue and then rinse. The Tongue Sweeper is made of medical grade stainless steel, about 6 inches in length and is not slippery. It comes with a silicone ring for identification which is available in six colors: blue, green, orange, pink, red and yellow. The Tongue Sweeper has a custom finished cleaning edge that provides for a gentle yet effective cleaning action. It is not sharp and does not cause micro-bleeding. We hope this information helps.

They are various sizes and thicknesses; you could probably cut some with a good pair of scissors but certainly with a good pair of kitchen shears. Why get the large ones and cut them in half when they come in smaller sizes as well? My dog loves them and has not had to have a dental cleaning. I will continue to buy them!

Where the blade meets the walnut handle is maybe 1.5 cm or so (not really wide like some steak knives) and then it tapes as seen in the pic. What I've liked is that they aren't serrated, so they cut with a clean, sealing 'style' (don't lose as much juice) and you can sharpen them.

Congrats on receiving one! They look steel, but they are nylon. Well at least mine were nylon, you can tell by the sound if you're familiar with steel string as well as the end's near the sound hole. For new players, steel string "cut" into your fingers much more than nylon. Have fun!

They do not have sharp edges---they are meant for spreading---not cutting :)

Im left handed and i can use them just fine and i always have trouble using specialty utencils. The scissors are for the righties though. Also keep your hand on the handles because even the top part (which i thought would be dull like most other knives) are very sharp. Sliced my fingers a couple times with out knowing. I would also recommend buying a carrier for this set like i did because keeping them in a kitchen drawer with your other stuff isnt the best idea either. Barely grazed against one just to get another utensil and got cut. Needless to say these are the best knives i have ever had.

1. They cannot be cut, but they are quite small in the first place. 2. I am having trouble understanding your exact question. They seem quite strong. I used them to reinforce my fridge magnets since some of them weren't strong enough to keep the kitchen timers in place. They were strong enough to do that. Said timers are plastic, but a little heavy for the magnets they already had.

Easy to get them out by popping through the rear, no peeling. I never buy stuff that requires peeling cuz I usually end up cutting myself, so I know what you are talking about!

I'm NOT finding any M or F/W indicators on what I purchase. Go for the biggest you can find. They ARE short to the wrist but I'm needing the fingertip healing mostly, not palm.

Not sharp at all. I don't see how a child could possibly get hurt with these. Have you looked at the silicone ones? I bought a set of each, these and the silicone ones.

Goes down easily with water. Don't try and take it just using your saliva though. I did this once because I was lazy to get up for a drink. Almost choked. I measured them to be 1 inch long and 1/4 inch thick

Cut yourself. I found the instructions showed a length 1/4" too short.Cut and try ONE 1st for best results.

I found myself a pair of scissors that were metal. That was the easiest thing I could think of and seemed to work and, at least, I didn't get a shock. Let me know if that helps. @d_avery@att.net.

No problems with sharpness of edges...I would definitely return them if someone would get cut!!!

Mine are not sharp. My husband is a classically trained french chef and loves these sheets. He said you can use a piece of steel wool or sand paper to gently sand then down. It they are too sharp return for different ones.
