Rocky Hill Forge

Based in Copenhagen, we create sharp chef's tools and tin-lined copper pans using traditional coal forges and hand hammers.

Our products combine functionality, sustainability, and beauty—crafted with care for serious cooks. Rocky Hill Forge is a traditional blacksmithing and silversmithing company in New York’s Hudson Valley. For part of the year, we work near Aspen, Colorado. We handcraft forged iron work, including decorative pieces, knives and blades, and cane-toppers, using traditional techniques. These include hea

ting the iron in a hand-cranked coal- and wood-fueled forge, using hand-operated hammers to shape, and using hand and minimal use of power tools to finish, our fine, gluten-free ironwork. Our hand-crafted silver products are made with the same respect to traditional, time-tested techniques, and are also gluten-free.

I’m so glad to be getting back to making things after the move to !

Mostly I’ve been working on the finishing touches to the workshop so it’s great to be back to swinging a hammer.

Anyways, this funky little guy is now available on our new website: rockyhillforge.com

This plate is forged from 304 stainless steel and individually hand-textured at the forge. The hammered surface gives it the visual warmth of handmade ceramics while the material underneath is built for daily use. It is the kind of piece that looks considered on a table without needing to be treated carefully.

At 2.5mm thick, it has real weight and presence. The texture varies across each plate because it is applied by hand, one strike at a time. No two are identical. Best used for small dishes, bread, charcuterie, or dessert.

Dishwasher and oven safe.

We know our business has an environmental footprint, and we’re working to minimize it.

We’ve made our workshop 100% solar-powered, shifted to sustainable materials in our processes, partnered with carbon removal and reforestation programs, and offset 57.7 tonnes of CO2.

We believe in making genuine progress rather than perfect promises. Every step matters, and we’re committed to continuous improvement in how we operate.

We’ll keep you updated on our journey and the real changes we’re making along the way.

Crafted from spun copper with an industry leading 4mm base and 2.5mm walls, this pan delivers professional-grade performance on its 200mm cooking surface.

At 40mm in height, it’s perfectly proportioned for daily use, while the flared walls make ingredient manipulation seamless—giving you complete access for delicate flips and precise movements.

The hand-wiped tin lining creates an incredibly smooth, naturally non-stick cooking experience. That extra-thick base? It’s your guarantee of superior heat retention and flawlessly even cooking every single time.

The hand-forged blackened 304 stainless steel handle isn’t just beautiful—it’s wonderfully functional. Engineered to stay cool during extended cooking sessions while being far less susceptible to rust than cast iron.

The extra wide 125mm mounting point and 6mm solid copper rivets ensure this pan will be part of your kitchen for decades.

Works flawlessly on gas, electric, and halogen cooktops—no compromises, just consistent results wherever you cook.
