HouseMade Slotted Spatula

You don't need any advanced machinery. Basic household tools like a hammer, a file, and sandpaper are sufficient to attach the handle scales and finish the edges to your liking.

Yes, the blade is engineered with a slight flex. It provides enough give to slide easily under delicate items like fish or crepes without being so flimsy that it struggles with heavier foods like burgers.

Absolutely. Because the kit uses copper or brass scales, you can texture the surface with a hammer or stamp personal details into the metal before riveting it to the tang.

Like any metal handle, copper and brass will develop a patina over time with exposure to air and kitchen oils. If you prefer a bright finish, you can occasionally polish the handle with a standard metal cleaner.

While the slotted design is excellent for draining grease and fat, be mindful that the stainless steel edge is rigid. It is best suited for cast iron, stainless steel, or carbon steel cookware rather than delicate non-stick coatings.
