Ok, when I read forceps I automatically assumed the locking/hinged variety with handles more like scissors. After seeing the 'tweezers' Colin's post I checked the J&L link and was surprised that the thing they call forceps are actually tweezers as well. Bottom line for me is, the locking jobs I got from PA are much more functional than the J&L offering. A bit shorter @ 31cm (12") but that's minor compared to having the locking feature. Mine have the curved tip, but straight ones are available as well.

Note the "Kelly" forceps in the following link, this is similar to what I have.

I guess J&L version would be considered "Thumb" forceps.

Edit: I guess what I have is also referred to as a Hemostat.
