New Star Foodservice 43068 Wood Handle Fish Spatula, 6.5″ Blade, Silver

This moderately priced turner has some good features.#1 – Its front edge has is nicely beveled, leaving a table-knife-sharp edge. That makes it easy to get that edge under stuff without scrunching it up.#2 – Note that the interior blade ribs are thicker at the back, thinning towards the front. Consequently the blade is stiff at the back where you need stiffness, and flexible at the front where you want flexibility.#3 – Many slotted turners have an abrupt upward bend a couple of inches back from the front edge. That makes for a long flat region behind the bend and a short flat region beyond the bend. But this turner has a broader, gentler, bend that’s more to my liking.#4 – Its haft is heavy enough that the blade will cantilever over your countertop without touching it. No mess on my countertop! See photo. (That’s the case for many slotted turners, but I was happy to see it for this one.)#5 – Full tang, triple rivet haft.I’ll also mention that its stainless steel surface finish is lightly brushed, rather than mirror polished.I’d buy this product again If necessary, but I expect this one to last a lifetime.
