Where are these made?

Made in India, even as the Amazon cite specifically says, "Country of Origin: USA." False advertising.

Do the tongs lock closed for storage?

No they do not lock, but they are still a very sturdy pair of tongs.

are these dishwasher safe

Mine have gone through dishwasher many times, I see no problems

Is the weight of 1.6 oz. usually considered 'heavyweight' as listed in the description for these tongs?

It seems just right to me. It certainly is not flimsy. I would be more concerned about tongs that are cheaply made with thin metal. This is not that; it has a nice feel to it.

Material MUITO bom!

Fiquei surpresa com a compra, o material é muito bom e grosso. Tenho certeza que vai durar bastante. Diferente de outros que comprei que dava para amassar com a mão.

One piece self-sprung.

I, being the primary cook at both home and camping, from steak, lamb & pork chops, sausages or fish say they are fantastic. My wife however prefers the standard tongs, I believe from not accepting change.

SUPER high quality!

These are the nicest tongs I've ever used. The metal is really thick and solid. Feels like they could last 50 years. It's such a mundane item but I felt like leaving a review just because they are just that good.
