These guys are really great. And here is what really matters... I ordered in the past, happy smooth transaction.... But my recent order got goofed up.. I think it is the xmas rush has them busy as heck. They accidentally sent me another fellas order... Big problem is I needed my order as a gift for this weekend, multiple gifts actually... Well with an email, they figured it out and got the right stuff to me quickly. My point is it really shows a good vendor when they go above and beyond to fix a mistake and do it fast with a pleasant attitude. I make a lot of my own tongs... But have been so happy with these for the price, quality and ease, it embarrassingly makes me lazy... Or maybe I'm just being efficient... GRIN Again THANKS!
Hi Ken, an excellent video! For a knife maker 6-7" Blade length, 10" total length, which box tongs would you recommend? The Quick, or the smaller Rapid size? The knife shank (handle) width will probably be an inch to an inch and a half.
Hi Eddie, Thank You. I think the rapid knife tongs would work best for a knife that size. For shipping I can ship 1 pair or up to 6 pair for the same price, maybe consider a few others for future projects.
Wish lignite was good for forging. I’m in North Dakota so that’s about the only cheap coal other than anthracite and I have a hand crank forge so anthracite isn’t real great for it
From what I understand lignite is usable for a forge, it certainly isn't the best quality fuel but is more energy dense than charcoal, it will produce a lot of clinker which might be a problem if you like to weld but might still be worth the trouble if it is cheap enough.

Ken’s hammer control and clear skill make all this seem magically easy. I learn something new every time I re watch one of his videos. RIP Ken.
Got mine in the mail today and this is tomorrow's project.
So great! Thank you

Very clear sir.
Just made an order for a bunch!
I hope you enjoy them.
Thank You
In joy the video
Great instructional video... thanks
Thank you!
Thanks for this. I haven't given myself the time to forge out the sets I got from you, but this certainly makes it look easy enough.
Let us know if you have any questions!
How'd it go, bud?
@@Face2theScr33n they came out well. My forging wasn't super pretty, but very functional.
@@felixthecrazy I just got my first forge, but my anvil is still in the mail. But I got a nice groove started in the jaws for now!
Just ordered a couple sets! Really looking forward to getting them and firing up the forge! Great video!
Will be ordering a set soon ,a couple weeks.
Let us know if you have any questions, Adam!
@@KjZiturKensCustomIron, will do,great product,and tutorial!

What alloy do you like for your chisels?

Have you tried mail ordering some good stuff?
@@rustbeltmachine too expensive. I’ve been using anthracite for a few years and it works well with an electric blower.

Which version is larger the quick or the rapid, also can they be drawn out to hold 2" wide material. Thanks
