All tongs are hand forged from high-toughness tool steel that is resistant to fracturing during cooling as well as to work hardening. They are built with a large boss, so they stand the test of time and have wide hips, so the reigns taper together. This is to keep them from creeping up in your hand while you forge as well as help to make sure you can get tong clips off and on easily.
