Lamson 3' x 6" Chef's Slotted Turner with Walnut Handle - Right-Hand

Genuine heavy duty construction, suitable for stovetop, oven sheet-pans, or outdoor grill. Particularly excellent for fish, pan-fried or grilled over charcoal, will keep fillets or whole head-on fish, trout, branzino, mackerel, large sections of salmon, easily moved and kept intact. Good for serving portions at table. An excellent gift, with walnut handle or durable black handle.

Awesome and very cool looking spatula. It is an eye catcher. Residue cleans off very well. Just wiped the grease and matter with sponge and all came off easily. Love the black handle vs wood. Much more refined. Any grilling person should have one. You will be asked, time and again where you got it from.

A must have for cast iron and stainless cookware. Very high quality. It's not cheap (there are way cheaper alternatives) but you get what you pay for and it's made in the USA.

Bought a $9 fish spatula. The tapered front was not tapered and it was as thick as any traditional dollar store spatula. So I splurged and got this Lamson, though I was skeptical of the price. Spatula arrived flat (no curve or bend). However, I immediately noticed how thin this was compared to the cheap one. It had some give while still being stiff enough not to wobble all over. So, using pictures on the website, I used the edge of my hand as a fulcrum point and applied gentle pressure. Now it has a nice, slight curve and easily scoops under, and holds what I need to pick up or flip. Pictures will show the bend I added, the thinness of the spatula, especially the tapered front, as well as the handle which has a full tang and tight rivets. I cannot comment on the durability of the Lamson fish spatula, as I have only just received it and only used it twice. But so far, it seems ideal for general purpose lifting and turning. It's not a smash burger spatula, but I have a cheap, flat top spatula for that anyway.

This is now my favorite turner/spatula for lifting, flipping/turning food! This Lamson Chef’s turner is on the far left in my photo next to my other spatulas for comparison. This turner is longer and narrower with a full tang to add strength and durability. It has a slight bend to enhance it’s lifting ability and flexibility. This turner replaces a more conventional flexible blade spatula that broke where the top joined to a long handle. My other spatulas are: 1. A fully rigid (one piece stainless). My husband likes this one for turning hamburgers; 2. Two all metal spatulas of different sizes that are too flexible due to very thin metal. I rarely use them; 3. A too thick spatula due to silicone covering- that makes it challenging to lift food completely. Perhaps, if I owned non- stick cookware, it might get more use. This made in the USA Lamson Chef’s turner hits the “Goldilocks” sweet spot—not too rigid, not too flexible—just right! The top edge is beveled to make it easier to get under food without leaving a layer on the pan for all types of food. I use it in cast iron or stainless steel pans, as well as stainless and aluminum cookie sheets. I still use an all wood spatula for stir frying. My only suggestions to the manufacturer would be to burnish the wood handle a little smoother (it is not uncomfortable, just a personal preference), and to check that the metal edge by wooden handle is perfectly smoothed. (My hand does not touch this area and it is only a minor cosmetic blemish that I fixed on my own). I would purchase this again for myself, a relative, or for a gift.

I teach a culinary class at a private high school. I have told all my students that when buying a turner/spatula to start with a fish spatula. A good fish spatula will essentially be the only turner you'll need. So the very first turner I bought was the Wusthof Gourmet Slotted Turner. I love that turner. It is my favorite turner and its the best one I've ever used. That being said it comes at a fairly steep price for a turner at $45 dollars. When I determined I needed a second spatula I decided to see if I could find a comparable turner made in the USA. This spatula is made in Massachusetts, not too far from me. That's a huge plus for me because I like to support the local economy and American jobs. I gave this four stars because its almost as great as the Wusthof one. 1. The rivets on this one do not hold the handle as tightly together as the one on the Wusthof handle. I like the feel of wood in my hand but the looseness of the handle I dont appreciate. Its bad enough to notice but not so bad I can't use it. Overall this is the worse thing about the product. 2. This one is about half as thick as as the Wusthof one. That is really great for trying to flip things like fish and eggs. The downside to how thick this is, is that it makes it a bit more flexible. So heavier things like large pancakes do provide a bit more of a challenge to keep the heavier items on the spatula without sliding off. Overall I prefer the slightly thicker Wusthof version, it tends to be more versatile. 3. Slots on this one are thicker than the one on the Wusthof version. To me that is a great plus. It adds to the sturdiness in desperately needs but also prevents smaller food from falling through. Overall I do prefer the ticker tines on this one than the Wusthof one. 4. The offset angle at the front end of the spatula on this one is not as dramatic as the Wusthof one. At first I wasn't sure which I preffered. Because prefer the Wusthof one overall I thought I might prefer its sharper angle. However, over time I have found that its steeper angle when up against the sides of a saute pan do require more dexterity. That being said I do prefer the less dramatic angle of the LamsonSharp. Overall I don't think I could completely replace my Wusthof one with this one but if they could tighten up the handle and stiffen up the turner a bit more, this would be a no brainer. The fact that it's made in the USA is huge perk for me. So all things considered, I would definitely buy this again and I do recommend it.

Lovely multi use fish spatula. Used on an omelet as well and it works great in my stainless and carbon steel pans. Love the ability to bend slightly, will have for many years as it is nice quality.

good quality and very thin and flexible

No quality control. Bad finish. It feels nice and sturdy. But disappointed with the finish. Why should it cost a premium without being premium. Wouldn't buy again from this company.

Purchased this recently after some browsing on amazon at turner/flippers I'd thought would be practical for general purpose use. Eggs were what I wanted it for initially and a small cast iron pan which is just large enough to cook an egg for toast is what I wanted it for. It sounds like I could have chosen any number of turners for the job but I wanted something built well, of good material (like the pan), and narrow enough to be able to slip under the edge of the egg in the outermost circumference of the bottom of the pan. Many other "fish turner's" look nearly identical to this one in the pictures, I knew it would do what I wanted and its apparent craftsmanship is excellent, so I spent the extra to buy it and don't regret it. Looking forward to cooking many big omelets, as well as cracking extra yolks to do some double-yolk over-easy eggs in the little cast pan as well as countless other tasks in the pan and out on the grill in the spring.

The best! Great turner.

It was an original branded product. I know many got something else. I got what I paid for.

High quality turner, still keeping its shape after several months of use. I strongly recommend this product. It will last very very long time I believe.
