Hand-Forged Pigtail Meat Flipper – Grill-Marked Handle

Wicks Forge was founded by Nicholas Wicks Moreau, who dates the forge’s beginnings to 2013 after an online launch in October 2012. Its current business address is Salem, New York, and its team also has roots in Maine. Moreau began with inherited family tools after a blacksmithing apprenticeship in Scotland. The company makes useful everyday metalwork, values accessible craftsmanship and honors the blacksmith’s tradition of community service.

Hand-Forged Pigtail Meat Flipper – Grill-Marked Handle

Turn food on the grill with a pigtail-style meat flipper and a textured steel handle. The working hook offers a different approach from a fork or broad spatula, while the Grill-Marked pattern gives the handle a coordinated look with the matching BBQ tools. A leather strap provides a hanging point between uses.

The stated 16-inch measurement refers to the handle, not the overall tool. Keep the leather strap away from flames and avoid soaking it during cleanup. Choose a separate spatula when you need broad support under more delicate food.

Materials and finish

Forged steel with a leather hanging strap; linseed-oil and wax finish on the metal.

Hand-forging can create small differences in surface texture, shape and dimensions. Measurements are approximate rather than precision-machined tolerances. Keep the protective surface maintained so the metal stays ready for its intended use.

Care and use

Hand wash after use, towel dry thoroughly and wipe the metal with a thin layer of cooking oil. Do not leave it soaking or store it while damp. If surface rust develops, remove it with a suitable scouring pad and renew the oil coating. Maintain the surface as you would seasoned cookware; avoid prolonged contact with water. Allow the tool to cool before cleaning, and protect your hands when handling hot metal.

Use appropriate protection around hot cookware and grilling tools. Metal handles can heat up, even when they provide extra reach. Keep food-contact surfaces clean between raw and cooked foods. For additional guidance, review USDA grilling and food-handling guidance.
