Blacksmith tong blanks. It is cheaper to buy blanks then draw them out and shape them to what is needed then it is to start with raw stock. The other reason is blacksmiths have to make there own tools as an apprentice so by using blanks they don't need as much skill or tools as the whole process would take from scratch. The link provided shows tongs being made by a master, but gives the general idea.
