Ateco Offset Spatula with 7.63-Inch Stainless Steel Blade, Wood Handle, Silver

This is a wonderful spatula. Ateco brand cake decorating products never let me down. This is a sturdy spatula with a thin sharp edge, perfect for icing a flawless cake (...in my line of work that's important!). I agree with all of the other reviews about the label being stuck to this spatula with a super-adhesive glue. As of July 2021, the seller hasn't fixed that problem. I was able to remove all of the glue and label by boiling water on my stove and letting the end of the spatula with the label sit in it for 3-5 minutes. Most of the label peeled off (with some force). I was able to remove the small bit of glue residue by reinserting the end back into the boiling water and rubbing the area in question. Just a couple of minutes, and the label and glue was completely removed. In my "professional" opinion, running it under hot water would take a LOT longer.

I have occasional need for a larger offset spatula: mainly for helping to 'release' the bottom plate of 2-piece tart pans and springform pans...I have also started 'doing' lattice-top pies, and getting those strips of crust off the board without stretching or breaking them is a battle (Come to think of it, I have that same problem when making a 'constructed edges' tart base with puff pastry? It is tomato season, so I'll be doing making 'Mater tarts, soon, too!)? For me, based on ATK's reviews, it was between this and the higher-rated OXO, but I decided to chance the "$5 discount" and see? After all: Five bucks is five bucks. The glued-on label was, as it has been for others, a struggle, but it did come off/clean-up okay...eventually...the spatula itself is, I think: GREAT! I do not do much frosting of cakes, but thought that if I did, the distinctly well defined (Can wood be 'sharp'?) handle edges might be a longterm concern on my (getting older) hands? I show in the video how I 'solved' this...you won't get that minute+ back, watching it, but it might answer a few questions for you?

Love this narrow spatula. Use it for all my deserts works great getting out bars, pieces of cake, and hot casseroles etc.

Like the wood handle and off-set blade. Great kitchen tool.

I purchased 3 sizes of these and the quality is nice. No sharp edges on the wood handles and the blades are well polished with just enough flex. Made in Japan per the stamp on the blade. The reason they don't get five stars? Each one had a sticker/hang tag on the end of the blade that is maddening to remove. The adhesive is so strong you can easily break a fingernail or two trying to peel off the sticker. I've never dealt with anything like it. You may get the sticker off the blade in one piece being fairly thick, but good luck with the adhesive still stuck to the blade. I used Goof Off to remove it but it took multiple coats to remove all the adhesive followed by hot water and dish soap to remove the solvent. Yo could probably use a sharp scraper to save your fingernails at the risk of scratching up the mirror polish on the blades, I just think there has to be a better way. A lanyard hole in the handle and a loop with a tag would be a great improvement and give a place to hang them up as a bonus!

This little tool is handy in my kitchen. I guess I already had a plastic straight slim spatula which I thought was fine, but once I tried using this offset spatula I really don't know why I didn't buy one sooner. Being offset, it prevents getting my knuckles all covered with frosting and batter. It's a clever, well-made little tool and one I intend buy as gifts for my family.

I love this thing. It's my only offset spatula and though it isn't very wide, it does the job - picking up cookies, smoothing off tops to cakes, picking up casserole squares/dessert bars/corn bread, etc. The metal part is flexible so it's good with that, it's not heavy, and the handle is sturdy. My only concern is that because the handle is wood, it might mold eventually, but so far, so good! I'll tackle that if that ever becomes an issue. In the meantime, I'm very happy with this purchase!

This spatula was sturdy yet flexible. However, the angle is not as good as the original ones they made years ago. If you have experience with these spatulas you can tell the bend needs to be greater for best functionality. I miss the old models.

Me encantó!!! Super buena calidad, solo es un poco más grande de lo que yo esperaba (tal vez no leí bien al momento de comprar - la espatula "usable" mide como 20 cm), aún así me la quede, es súper buena!

Great for making toat on an Aga!

Perfect for so many things, this offset spatula is sturdy but still slightly springy, making it great for those weird lifting tasks that come up in plating foods including pastry. The wooden handle feels very craftsmanlike and stable.

There brilliant for use in my job in passive fire protection

This is a high quality spatula. It appears it will last me a lifetime and I find it really useful so far. I highly recommend.
