"Good for pulling out ear hair"

I bought these for ear hair removal on dogs. The ones I received have a nice brushed finish look to them and they are sturdy, durable, and have a good, strong grip. The grooming school I'm attending required the straight forceps but I think I would prefer the curved ones for a better angle on getting in the ears. The ones in the picture must be the curved ones because mine are super straight and even that little bit of a curve would be make the job a little easier for me.
