I bought one of these MÄNNKITCHEN spatulas a little while ago and won't buy/use any other brand now. I've given them to friends as presents, and highly recommend them whenever someone asks me about which kitchen products I like to use. I've had one of them for 4+ years and other than the color of the wood fading slightly/a few minor scratches on the metal, it shows NO signs of use. The edges are still sharp/defined and the wooden handle hasn't begun to separate or shrink at all. I like the weight of the spatula too, and how effective the sharper edges are when working with cast iron pans or old stainless steel baking trays. Quite literally the BEST spatula I've ever come across!
