I happened to post a topic on these and got two of them, and if they were available I would grab a 30cm version (12 inch). I liked them so much ended up keeping both.

A question about high heat arose and I only do eggs and similar stuff in mine, i wouldn't want high heat too long as I think they would warp, but i have carbon steel and cast iron for those high heat items.
But this quest is about looks, not function. I imagine all of the higher end carbon steel pans will perform in a similar fashion.

I took a look at the Heritage Creative 11" skillet. looks nice and also light, but only an 8" cook area for $340.

They have a bronze handled version that looks great, but the pan is just a reg round pan, no artisanal appeal to it but @ $420 I think its overpriced.

Here is a link for the SBForge large skillet with helper handle. You can also get it without the helper handle for $20 less. As I said before, I love my Blanc Creatives skillet (now called Heritage series), but the new Pro series Blanc doesn’t look the same.

These SBForge are great values in hand hammered skillets and the roaster.

Thanks Steve; I'm kinda leaning toward one of those. Has some pizazz and eyeball and just about the right size and I dont have to go thru hoops to get one. lol would be awesome if I could get them to do a bronze handle right?

I'll bring up darto. I haven't bought from them yet, but the prices seem reasonable. I believe someone has posted that they bought and like the pans.
