I just made these tongs today, they are my first pair of tongs that I have forged. They are called pickup tongs and are for picking up very small objects. I can pick up something as thin as a razor blade with these. It was not as hard as I thought it would be, and I'm still working on your knife Ashton. In the old days a blacksmith used to make a new pair of tongs for any job that was a little different than usual.

That is really neat! How did you make it?
In my forge, on my anvil, with a hammer.
