Apparently forging is such a niche hobby that nobody makes good commercial tools, plus it's sort of a rite of passage to bootstrap your hobby by making your own tools. So blacksmith's tongs are hand-forged. There are enough of them on eBay that they've settled on a consistent price. I chose this particular set of tongs because they have notches on the end in two directions so that they can firmly clamp a length of square steel like a railroad spike either lengthwise or sideways. They are well made, and should last forever. Although every handmade product is original, the one I got looks more or less exactly like the photo.

If your looking at other tongs that are cheaper or you think are better stop looking you found it. Because reviews run together sometimes this is for the FFF forge blacksmith tongs. I’ve bought 4 pair from different places for rr spikes and I won’t touch them anymore. These hold them perfectly and won’t let go. Perfect length away from the fire but still close enough to your work.
