Hand-Carving Wood Bushcraft Tongs

[Mesquite]

I follow Kusk over on YT and he posted this video yesterday.

They're a set of take apart tongs that looked very handy around the camp and I thought folks might appreciate them as well.

Simple, multipurpose and elegant. I like that a lot.
I think I'll give them a try.
Thanks for sharing.

That is a really great design, I shall be trying those next time I'm out, thank you @Mesquite

Here's a pair of tongs (or pliers if you get the ratios right!) from Felix Immler that take a bit more tweaking, but can be achieved with most Swiss Army Knife models. I can never quite get the jaws to line up, but they still grip like crazy, and are so satisfying to complete and use:

Really nice and highly practical. Love the built-in tension idea so it doesn't need any form of binding twine / cordage. Makes for quick assembly too, and very handy that the two parts have use and value on their own.

I've been looking for a nice rigging axe, like the look of that one. Looks like a Vaughan but can't be sure.
