A forceps includes a pair of grip pieces which are pivotally supported about a first fulcrum to be mutually openable and closable. A pair of tip-end forceps pieces are pivotally supported about a second fulcrum to be mutually openable and closable. The second fulcrum is separated from the first fulcrum. An operation transferring member transfers opening and closing operation of the grip pieces about the first fulcrum to opening and closing operations of the tip-end forceps pieces about the second fulcrum.
