The Fire Tong - Heritage Day Edition
Same Donkey Long Tong 80cm as you know and love, but with a few tweaks that make it even more proudly South African. It has a solid yellowwood handle (our national wood) with an asymmetrical shape to give you the Ultimate Grip. On top of that, we patina the stainless steel to give it a beautiful golden finish. One arm of the tong is engraved with icons of South Africa that make you think of Mzansi every time you see it.
The first release in our Art Tongs range, made specifically for Heritage Day. Includes custom wrapping, stickers, and even a Certificate of Authenticity. Nothing says "Heritage Day" like this.

Clean your tong
Get some hot water, soap and a microfibre cloth. That's it. Wipe it down with soap and water and it's ready to use again.
Note: if you use abrasives, the gold will wear off during washing. As this tong gets used, silver marks will start to show through. It helps it develop character. That's part of the fun.
Not dishwasher-safe.
Please note: this is a fully handmade and made-to-order piece. Please allow 14 business days for your tong to be made before it ships.
Once ready: nationwide shipping across South Africa, with FREE shipping on orders over R1000. Shipped within 2-4 business days of dispatch.
It's tough to let go of a good tong, even more so for a limited edition. But if a return is needed, please contact us and have a look at our FAQs.
Please note: the product must be unused/undamaged, with original packaging intact. Because this product is handmade, small variations in colour, grain and patina are normal and are not considered faults.
FAQs about the Donkey Long Tong - Heritage Edition
Over time, yes. That's the nature of a patina. High-contact areas will show wear first. Treat it gently and it'll last. Use it hard and it'll get a look all its own.
Every tong is made by hand, to order. Thus, please allow 14 business days before yours ships. Trust us when we say it’s worth the wait.
One tong arm is hand-engraved with a scene of South African icons. If you look closely, you'll notice a springbok, a rugby ball, a blue crane, a galjoen and more. The other arm stays blank and ready for you to personalise.
You can. Simply follow the instructions on our page to personalise your tong with either a typed engraving or a handwritten one. Please note: this engraving will be on the opposite arm to the icons.
No. 304-grade stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and made to last. Fires are tough. Your tools should be tougher.
Available through September 2026, or until all 200 are claimed, whichever happens first. Once it's gone, it's gone.
