Ceti Alpha V Eel "Fork" - ST2:TWoK

[DJb1138]

Hey RPF!

I'm in need of help identifying - and, if possible, procuring - the gold Y-shaped "fork/tongs" used by Khan in Star Trek II when he's holding the adult Ceti Eel in place to snag the larvae from it. I've snagged an image of the prop I'm referring to, to help with the identification. I appreciate the help!

LLAP.

I believe the tongs were actually silver / steel but the gold color you are seeing was from the lighting and filter used for shooting the insert scene.

oh that's a good one. Have you done any research on the tongs he uses to grab the baby eel?

They look like surgical instruments to me.

They look like surgical instruments to me.

I'm pretty sure they're medical forceps.

The other one, the one that he uses to extract the eel babies look like Forester Forceps

The other will be some sort of similar medical clamp
