Custom Grill Tongs for a Local Client

Custom tongs are probably one of the most popular requests for custom work. Recently we made a pair that we get to hand deliver to a local client. Here’s how we made his special…

A Matched Set

First off is matching it to his existing set, including the textures, twists & personalization. This makes it fit seamlessly with the other tools he has from us, even though it isn’t forged from a railroad spike. The weight and reach are also tuned to have the same ergonomic feel at the ol’ flame.

Proper Steel

Next is using a proper spring steel, heat treated perfectly, to allow for repeated flexing over a lifetime of heavy grilling.

The spring is mounted using a super strong, hidden fastener, for a clean visual design.

Wolf-like Jaws

The lower jaw has a beveled edge, like our spatulas, to slide under easily. The upper jaw has rugged teeth for a firm bite into your meat.

These Tongs are Ready for Serious Grilling- Are You?

Not yet a fully developed product, these require even more care and intentionality in the forging than our usual grill tools. They aren’t officially for sale, but if you want a pair we are happy to make them for you. Want to be fully equipped for your next cook out? We’re ready when you are.
