Since 2025, every Skottsberg pan comes with our brand-new handle. This design gives each product a distinctive Skottsberg identity. It’s our way of making sure that every pan you grab, whether in the kitchen or by the campfire, is instantly recognizable as a true Skottsberg. Strong, timeless and made to stand out.
Mark Hetterich, founder of Hetterich Product Design, is an expert in industrial design. We asked him to create a handle that's tough enough for rugged outdoor adventures yet refined enough for the modern culinary craftsman. And he nailed it! As he says: “The handle’s long, sturdy design isn’t just for show; it’s for keeping your hands safe when cooking over a roaring fire. No more playing ‘hot potato’ with your pan.” Crafted from steel, this handle is the kitchen equivalent of your favorite multi-tool. It can take a beating and survive the wild. Steel isn’t just durable; it’s eternal. Once its lifetime finally comes to an end (and good luck with that), it’s 100% recyclable, ready for its next adventure.
This isn’t just another mass-produced part. Mark spent 2.5 years training as a blacksmith before diving into industrial design. That background shaped every detail, from the sleek tapered handle to the signature split eye at the end. These details are born from traditional smithing techniques but perfected for modern use. The hollow handle at the beginning dissipates heat like a champ, and the embossed logo on the side isn’t just a mark of ownership. It’s a badge of quality, craftsmanship and longevity. The finishing touch? A tangential circular eyelet, perfectly rounded for hanging on a hook, nail or your campfire setup.
This isn’t just a handle. It’s a statement piece for those who take cooking seriously, even when surrounded by wilderness. Built for men who demand gear as tough and timeless as they are. Grab it, cook with it and give it to your grandkids one day, because this pan isn’t going anywhere.
