Where to buy a forged hold fast

It seems like trying to find a traditional forged hold fast is
difficult. The ones listed in most (?all?) woodworking catalogs are
cast iron - which eventually break.

Any ideas where to get a forged one?

"$45 each or $35/pair" ???

Shipping to anywhere will probably exceed the cost of the hold fasts.
they look great.

Write Phil Koontz:

Don't have one from him (I forge my own), but I've heard nothing but good
things about Phil's.
