Having used Rubis tweezers before (they sure are nice!) I can tell you these perform just as well.
The angled tip has a more blunt edge vs. the knife-like edge of the Rubis but this has no effect on performance...however the Rubis edge just looks a bit nicer I suppose. On the other hand, if you were unlucky enough to drop these on their leading edge vs. the Rubis, I feel as though the Tweezerman slant edge would survive and remain useful because of being flat. The Rubis knife-like edge would bend/dent and in turn would affect the grabbing ability.
I am a larger guy with pretty big hands, and by no means do these tweezers feel 'too small' or cumbersome to use because of their portability. I carry this set in my trail running & hiking packs, and they also see duty at home..gotten everything out from under my skin, including metal shards/splinters from the shop, wood splinters, glass shards..and can still grab even the finest hairs or threads.
I'd rate...Read more

They really are different,

Great tweezers, and when you compare the price to individually sold Tweezerman tweezers, it's a good deal. The leather pouch is nicely made with an easy-to-use magnetic clasp. It seemed silly to pay so much for tweezers, but I'm a convert; I'd recommend these to friends. In case you missed it elsewhere, they have a lifetime guarantee.

This set is a great value for the price. I find myself using the sharper ones more than the flat ones, but each pair of tweezers in this set has its own advantages depending on the situation. The quality is excellent, and the lifetime guarantee (including free sharpening) makes this brand the only way to go.
