    Is there any soldering in your fold forming process ? If not, there
    shouldn't be a problem w/ pickling. Just make sure that you
    NEUTRALIZE the piece in a baking soda solution, and thoroughly DRY
    it before continuing your hammering. You don't want to rust your
    steel tools. 

    With reference to your question of copper vs brass, either should
    work. I've never seen a pair of brass tongs distributed
    commercially. Copper is the standard metal used for this tool. 

Hauoli makahiki hou!
