I started forging several months ago and need to get some good tongs for blade smithing. I have some crappy tongs that came with an anvil I purchased but need something better. What do you guys reccomend for a good few starter pairs. I have seen the advice to make some but with the very limited time i get to forge, I want to focus on making knives, not tongs.


Thanks

Anything you make by forging will improve your skills and help your knifemaking.

I don't think I have seen any tongs for under $40.00 in the last few years. You can buy the material to make them for less than $5.00 and put in a productive hour or so and have fun while you do it. Short pieces of rebar work well and you don't have to get it shipped in.
 
I second gstongs. Bought a few from them and really like them
 
Another vote or gstongs. Good tongs decent prices and good guy to deal with.

which tongs from gs would be good for all around bladesmithing? Hunters and small bowie size.
