    I bought a bog-standard stainless steel spatula, but it had a square cut edge. So I just filed it down along the front edge to make it sharper but slightly rounded. Works really well.

      Keep in mind that most of the stuff you'll need in terms of cookware can be picked up at a thrift store. Then you can focus on filing out the collection or replacing items with something that's much nicer and likely to remain in good shape into the future.

    A fish spatula is great and I have the OXO silicone spatula, but my go-to tool, however, is the medium (4") Dexter-Russel turner. The flat edges and flexible blade are perfect for releasing food, scraping pans, or cutting and serving portions. I use it for everything, except when moving large portions or flipping foods like large omelets or Korean vegetable pancakes (keeps everything intact). For those, I use the larger size (5"). After over 10 years, both Dexter spatulas are still in excellent shape, including the walnut handles.

    Huh, for general grilling spatula, by accident I found that a cheap 1.00 one I bought for a differant purpose became my favorite. Others I bought specifically for grilling sit by the wayside. I can only figure the reason is because of its cheapness. Its thin and flexible. Works like a charm. So maybe start with a cheap no name and move up first.

      I have the walnut handled versions. They're also available in rosewood handles. RUclips has been scrubbing posted links, but if you search for Dexter Russell turner," you'll find a list of these. The medium 4" size is most versatile and listed as $21.00. (I also have the 5" for larger jobs.) If you get these, just oil them periodically and don't let them soak in water. They've lasted me over 10 years so far and still look great.

    I am left handed. I hate spatulas that have the angled front edge. This is because the angle edge is at the wrong angle for left handed people. Do you know where I can get a left handed version like you showed in the video?

    Good products but let's be clear: You have "jumped the shark" to catering only to those who can spend big money supporting PBS - and only buy the products (The NON-"good-value" products) you beddle, to show off how "grounded" they still are (And of course, hardly know where their kitchen is) - while you left behind those of us who contribute what little we have every year to...PUBLIC broadcasting. 65 dollars for a spatula....65....65. Really?!? Have you been to Amazon? Is that $65 Wushtof twice a good as the $22 Victorinox? Or the TWO "Chinese made" I bought for $16...for BOTH...FOUR years ago, when you last reviewed the Wushtof, that were of exactly the same dimensions, weight and built of the Wushtof, and which, by the way, I still have...and use?
    I understand the value of quality. And I understand the functionality and purpose of quality products. My question is, do you understand who your audience is...or at least, has become the last few years? Maybe not related to my rant, but it seems that PBS has joined the "dumbing-down" of viewers, becoming another exposition of unreachable expectations. Seeing the deterioration of Nova, and other "educational" programing, to breathless sensationalism, I suppose it is inevitable that the DIY shows would devolve to treating us as drooling idiots, only be able to pine for "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". If so, I suggest you all acquire a British posh accent and name yourselves something like, "Robin Leach".
    Well, at least, we still have Frontline left...

    The fact that Americas test kitchen keeps re-uploading old videos pretending they are new content is annoying and dishonest. The last several weeks nearly every video is a re-upload of older videos, pretending to be new content. I'm unsubscribing. I don't want to have my subscription page full of old uploads so a channel can monetize content multiple times.
