Each pan is hand forged from 11 gauge carbon steel. Most of the work is done with a hydraulic press and then finished with a hammer and anvil. Once the pan is finished the handle is forged and riveted to the pan. After wire brushing, I heat them in the oven at 500 degrees for an hour. This turns the pan a nice dark blue and creates surface oxidation that helps prevent rust. Then while they are still warm they are hand-rubbed with a mixture of beeswax and coconut oil. Over time as the pans are seasoned, they will continue to develop a warm, dark patina. If you love to cook, these pans will quickly become one of your most prized possessions! 7" frying pan has a handle about 8" long, the pan has a rise of 1 1/4".

This item is hand-forged in my workshop located in Sylva, NC.
