Every pair of Expedition Tongs is hand made in the good ol’ US of A. We start with steel or aluminum flat bar and mark, cut, grind, bend, drill, paint, rivet, engrave, oil and test every single pair before giving it a unique edition number and shipping it off to your house. Check out the photos below that were taken during the production of our first 100 pairs.
