Slotted Fish Spatula

Everyone should own one!

This is not a very long review except to say I have purchased five of these, two for myself becuase they are they best I've ever seen, and three as presents for the chefs who have used mine and then say exactly the same thing.

Love the sharpe edge of this spatula!! Game changer!

This is the third purchase of the slotted fish spatula for us. First, we bought one for ourselves; then, we bought one for a friend; and now, we bought one for our son and daughter-in-law for their vacation home. They grill fish a lot so this was much appreciated. As the turner spatula, this product is finely made and the layered handle just makes it instantly recognizable and unique. A fine product and a beautiful present. Thank you New West KnifeWorks.

I love it! I use it for making fried eggs. I use it for fish. I use it for anything that requires a rounded, flat surface to lift up whatever I am cooking. I bought one for each of my children (grown up).

This is an unremarkable $15 fish spatula paired with $50 handles, and a $85 logo. I was excited about the New West fish spatula. It looked like it would be a premium utensil with some premium handles and premium fit and finish. For $150, you would certainly hope so. What I received was an ISO standard mass produced stamped stainless steel fish spatula with a brushed finish and a New West logo, featuring a very nicely buffed set of ironwood scales fastened with large headed brass rivets. Those scales are aesthetically quite lovely upon first inspection. The butt of the scales was nicely rounded but the edges were only just radiused. The front end of the scales were squared off 90 degrees to the blade of the spatula, with zero radius or relief, and weren't quiiiite even with each other. I feel like some level of radius, bevel, or other more graceful transition from scales to blade wouldn't have been amiss for the tariff paid. It does not appear that epoxy was used to bond the scales to the handle, but I can't be certain about that. The side edges of the spatula itself were not *sharp*, per se, but it was clear that they weren't really finished (apart from maybe a stone tumble or something) after the stamping operation and needed some cleanup to smooth them out. Similarly, the working edge of the spatula was somewhat rough, definitely not smooth, and needed some work to clean it up so that it could actually make full-width complete contact with a cooking surface. This would have been a fair deal at $50 or $60, but at $150 before shipping, Mr. price paid and Ms. quality delivered aren't even nodding aquaintances.
