Country Of OriginJapan

This is an antique Japanese blacksmith tong, known asHizukuri-hashi, recently sourced from a saw-smith in the Hokkaido region. There is a slight intentional play (slack) at the pivot. This is common in traditional hand-forged tongs to prevent seizing from thermal expansion and to allow the smith to adjust the grip by hand during intense forging.
