Artisan-Crafted Roasting Forks & Quiver: $270 - $370
If your family enjoys gathering around an open fire, our Roasting Forks & Quiver set is a must-have. Each fork is uniquely sturdy and lightweight because of its twisted stainless steel construction. Our 29” stainless steel Roasting Forks are individually twisted by one of our metalsmiths, making each a one-of-a-kind. The removable wooden handle is cool to the touch even after extended periods of use. Unlike most roasting forks, these can be easily added to a dishwasher once the handle is removed.
This set includes either four or eight stainless steel Roasting Forks and a gorgeous waxed canvas and leather Quiver that makes for easy storage.
"My go-to gift! These are beautifully made, so much fun to use, and easy to clean." - Elizabeth O.

Sapelo Oyster Shucker & Guard Set: $85
The sister to our beloved Black Banks Oyster Knife, the Sapelo Oyster Shucker is designed to shuck comfortably, efficiently, and with plenty of torque whether you’re left or right-handed. Handmade by the Sea Island Forge metalsmiths, the shuckers have a spoon-shaped blade to easily open the oyster without sacrificing any of the tasty juices.
The versatile Chainmail Shuck Guard works with either hand, is dishwasher safe, and can be used as a sturdy scrubber for cast iron pots and pans.
The inspiration for this shucker is drawn from the shape of the McIntosh oysters found off of Sapelo Island in Georgia’s Sapelo Sound - a place that our founder’s dad, Taylor Schoettle, a naturalist, and author, would visit regularly.

Premium Chef’s Apron: $110
This Hedley & Bennett apron is universally adored by top chefs for a reason. It looks good, is sturdy, and is well-known for its top quality in the culinary industry. It is a perfect last-minute gift for the home chef and grillmaster who wants to look the part.
“It is one thing to hear and talk about ‘industry standard.’ But nothing will make you a believer until you own one. Made with great materials and by some great folks. They take a beating. And look amazing.” - Evaldo
These durable aprons were designed to guard you (and your clothes) from an open flame's scorching heat and smoky fumes. We love the two large lap pockets for keeping the chef’s tools handy and a split pocket at the top for thermometers, pens, or anything else your grillmaster might need on the go. The comfortable neck strap can be adjusted to fit your chef snugly, and the 99% cotton fabric stays durable after repeated washing.

Housewarming Gift Set: $150
Everyone instantly recognizes the ring of a dinner bell, the sentimental sound signaling that a meal is hot and ready. This hand-forged Housewarming Gift Set comes with a handsome Dinner Bell and Cross. Each Sea Island Forge Dinner Bell is made of cold rolled steel with a beeswax finish. The oil-tanned leather strap allows the Dinner Bell to be hung or held by hand, and the leather loop on the clanger can slide along the bottom of the bell to keep the clanger in place when not in use.
The Dinner Bell comes with a steel Cross, serving as a blessing to all who pass through the doors of your home. It has a rustic matte finish and clear coat seal and includes a square nail for hanging. The Cross design is inspired by Marie Schoettle, founder of Saint Anne’s ministry near Darien, Georgia, and mother of Sea Island Forge founder Steve. This Housewarming Set is a great last-minute gift to remind your loved ones that warmth is more than heat.
