Agawa Canyon Carbon Trail 12 Adventure Cookset

Agawa Canyon already make some of the finest quality folding bucksaws on the planet so you just know anything else they make is going to be to the same high standard. I know you may look at the price and think it's too pricey but then just go and buy a cheap set, and then another cheap set next year and then another cheap set the year after.....

You get the picture, buy cheap, buy twice (or many more in this case) as this will just outlast them and there will be economy in longevity. 

The Carbon Trail 12 Adventure Cookset is designed for backcountry adventurers who love cooking over an open fire without being limited by conventional cookware. This modular, mid-weight cook set provides versatile cooking options. Fry eggs for breakfast, rehydrate and serve chili for a group, smoke freshly caught trout with a side of steamed vegetables, or even bake bread or bannock with ease.

Agawa chose carbon steel for its outstanding properties: even heat distribution, durability, and natural non-stick qualities, all without the use of toxic coatings. Combining the best qualities of cast iron (without the weight), and the packability of camp cookware. The wok, pan, lid, & rigid removable handles pack neatly into a durable Cordura sheath, featuring pockets for cooking accessories and extra space for plates and utensils.

There are two variants available, Raw Carbon Steel or Nitrided Carbon Steel:

Raw Carbon Steel

Starts as bare carbon steel and develops its own natural non-stick surface through seasoning and use. The more you cook, the better it performs.

• Builds a rich, natural patina over time
• Highly responsive to seasoning and care
• Easy to refinish if scratched or abused
• Ideal for those who enjoy the ritual of maintaining their gear

Best for: purists who want full control and don’t mind a little upkeep.

Nitrided Carbon Steel

Heat-treated at the molecular level to create a tougher, more corrosion-resistant surface—without coatings. Delivers many of the benefits of seasoned steel, right out of the box.

• Increased rust resistance and surface hardness
• Requires less seasoning and maintenance (still recommended)
• More forgiving in wet or variable conditions
• Retains carbon steel performance with added durability

Best for: users who want performance with less maintenance, especially in demanding environments.
