Nice, ive never been near to owning a Kuwi, but that it tempting me...
I also used twin pinchers on my first builds, until I realised my errors
and swapped for a one piece Takagi on one and a NOS Hanabishi 3 piece on the other. I agree though, that they look the part, just a shame when everything else is of the era.
My final point is a general one to everyone. I didnt use em in the old days, but how the hell did/do you reach those tech 2 levers?
