Eddington Italian Olive Wood Wide Spatula, Handcrafted in Europe, 12.5-Inches,Brown

I’ve had this spatula for almost 7 years now and it’s definitely a go to implement in our kitchen. Although it’s sustained a small amount of damage, it’s a great blend of thinness, durability and versatility. Any thicker and it gets hard to put it under food when you’re scooping and any thinner, it would break too easily. I will say to that for all the meals that it’s used for it’s never gotten stained or held on to something oily. It always comes clean and it always looks good.

Very nice size and I use them a lot. The wood itself, especially towards the tip is thin, but that is exactly what I wanted so that when I’m using them for stirfry or flipping foods that it would not be too thick. I love the curve that the wood has very easy to use. I made sure to season them a few times before I used them and I used food grid quality mineral oil. I simply wash them and let them completely dry out and then applied the oil very thin and rubbed off all the excess and allowed them to dry. I repeated this three times and it worked well. Now, when I use them, I simply wash them and dry them and then when dry I apply a very small amount of avocado oil and rub that in and they are good to go for the next time I use them. It may sound like that is labor-intensive, but it is actually no big deal and it keeps the wood really nice.

I love the look of Italian Olive Wood and it cleans up well

Excellent quality. Arrived quickly.

I've had this spatula for a few months now, and though I have some other wooden utensils, this one immediately became my favorite. It's the first one I grab when I cook. First, it's beautiful - the patterns in olive wood are very unique, and I feel like I'm cooking with a work of art. Second, the shape of it makes it very useful. The sides have a slight curve to them that fits the sides of my favorite pan perfectly, and it's the ideal thickness - neither too thick nor too thin. It's also very lightweight, but yet it feels quite sturdy...like it will last a long time. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because the edges of the handle are sharply squared off instead of being rounded and smooth, and it makes it a bit uncomfortable to hold. I sanded the edges smooth and oiled it, and now it's perfect. UPDATE March 22, 2011 Two years later and it's still my favorite. I use it for just about everything; it's gained a lovely patina and is still going strong! :-)

At first I was weary based on revies showing a different product than pics, but happy to say they are gorgeous and just like the pics. They are thin but sturdy and comfortable to hold which is what I was looking for. It has been a chore to find utensils like this which I prefer for things like ground meats and tossing vegies in a pan. After my last set went bye bye I've been looking for a while to find a suitable replacement. You need the flat wide thin profile to easily break down meat and also not damage food. They make chores like that easier and this delivers. I feel like the price was fair given the quality and remember its super important to properly care for wood you can let it soak, stay wet, use scouring pads or put in the dishwasher. Oiling wood with food grade oil/wax can help more delicate pieces like this resist water and stay nice for a long time.

Beautiful spatula and fits nicely into my hand. Shipped quickly and well wrapped.

It’s a beautiful olive wood spatula. It looks perfect and it’s the right thickness for me. I’ll be ordering more of them if it as good as I think it is.

Excellent wooden spatula with fine front blade for picking things up like a fried egg for example.

We pensive but very beautiful and solid.

Strong, light and well-made. Beautiful olive wood grain with no knots or blemishes in the wood. The angle and side of the head is very functional.

This was a present so can't comment on its use but recipient seemed pleased. This was lovely quality and I would buy again if I needed one.

Va bien y parece resistente. Está bien hecha. Pero para mi gusto es un poco gruesa como espátula. Es la única pega que le encuentro. El tamaño es adecuado y se limpia fácilmente.
