I have no experience of these ones, but I have seen positive comments about them on various facebook groups (mainly American). Personally I like a periotome such as this

As far as one can tell from the pictures, not very much like at all.

I suspect they are too thick for my liking, but that may not be so.

No, but they look as if a lot of thought has gone into the designs. Of course the concave and convex instrument won't get round the full curves of deciduous canines – that's significant on the concave side. It's a bit unfair to say more without trying them out. They could be a useful addition to your kit.

Personally I often use the Crossley rabbit incisor instruments to help, especially the ones for the mesial and distal sides of rabbit incisors.
