ABOUT US

Welcome to our family-owned business situated in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Since 2022, Derek started forging skillets with his dad's coal forge, we have since purchased a small forge and now build our cookware products at our home.  We keep the process minimal, with simple tools and low tech.  We even hammer out our copperware on a stump, so much love and dedication goes into each and every piece. Our mission is to provide non-toxic alternatives to conventional cookware, suitable for any type of cook whether you like to cook inside or in the great outdoors. Proudly made in the USA, our heritage quality cookware is guaranteed to stand the test of time.

What is carbon steel?

Carbon steel is a fantastic choice for cookware, offering a lightweight alternative to cast iron that makes it easy to handle. Its versatility shines through as it can be used on the stovetop, in oven, or even over an open fire.

 

Like cast iron, it requires some time to season properly, but with frequent use, you’ll find that food sticks less and flavors develop beautifully.

 

Plus its exceptional durability ensures that it will be a staple in your kitchen for generations.
