Review on 🔪 Enhance Your Grilling Experience with Victorinox BBQ Accessories Slotted Fish Turner Wood 3" x 6 by Jennifer Kiel

I really like this item. Some reviewers stated that their wooden handle was rough and/or the metal lug wasn't evenly lapped onto the handle. I haven't found any of this. The raw wood handle (although not as smooth as lacquered) is sanded acceptably and the rivets fit well. I would advise anyone buying unfinished utensils with a wooden handle to 1) apply some food grade mineral oil or meat block oil to the handle immediately and then periodically for a period of time to keep it from cracking. and 2) Be sure to hand wash the spatula only (the dishwasher can handle the wooden handles on any dish in New York in a minute). I found the sanded leading edge of the spatula itself to be a bit rougher than I expected. but a little work with a piece of 400 grit wet or dry sandpaper resulted in what I wanted. I didn't find it a deal breaker as the price of this paddle was less than half the price of a Wustoff Gourmet Fish Paddle which is arguably the best in its class. I am very happy with the product but as I had to work on it a bit to get it in the best shape I only gave it 4 stars. If anything changes, I'll provide an update.
