The 3 Nail Ironware Difference
The Ultimate Hand Forged Pan
Three Nail Ironware pans are entirely handmade, with every piece hand-hammered by skilled artisans. This full hand-forged construction ensures each pan is unique, with subtle variations that give it character and performance no mass-produced skillet can match. Shop our collection to explore the full range of skillets.
Thoughtful, Functional Design
This is the only hand forged pan with a movable hanging bail, making storage flexible and convenient. The smooth, contoured handle is carefully angled for ergonomic comfort, allowing full control when lifting or flipping food. Also, unlike cast iron, the handles are much more resistant to heat soak. Learn more about the handle design and why it matters for everyday use.
Perfect Thickness, Optimal Cooking
Each pan is hot pressed, rough hammered, and then finishing planished from 12g mild steel, providing the perfect balance between heat retention and responsiveness. The weight feels substantial without being cumbersome, making it ideal for stovetop or open-fire cooking. See why thickness matters and view specific product details.
Many Styles to Fit Your Cooking Needs
3 Nail Ironware offers the widest selection of hand forged skillets, with two different depths and four distinct styles to suit every cooking need. Each style comes in multiple sizes—9", 10", 11", 13", and 15"—so you can find the perfect skillet for searing, sautéing, or open-fire cooking. Every pan reflects our small-batch, hand-hammered craftsmanship, ensuring consistent quality and performance across all sizes.
