Hand-Forged Iron Tongs, 33 cm
A Universal Tool for Fire and Anvil
The design of these tongs has been proven over centuries. The flat jaws ensure a firm, stable grip on a wide variety of objects, from flat bar stock in a smithy to the handle of a kettle over a campfire. The long handles provide excellent leverage and control, while the sturdy riveted pivot ensures smooth and dependable operation. The surface of the tongs is left with a natural forge-black finish, often preserved with oil, which enhances their rugged character and protects them from rust.

- Camping and Re-enactment: Safely handle grills, kettles, and other hot cookware. Add wood and manage your campfire with ease.
- Historical Blacksmithing: An essential tool for anyone demonstrating or practicing the historical craft of blacksmithing.

How to Care for Your Tongs
These tongs are made from carbon steel, which can rust if it comes into contact with moisture. To ensure they last as long as possible, follow these simple guidelines: Wipe them dry after use. Do not leave them outside in the rain. From time to time, you can wipe them with a thin layer of oil (use edible oil if you use them for cooking) to renew the protective coating. Any surface rust can be easily removed with a wire brush or coarse sponge, followed by re-oiling.
