Gestura Spatula
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Your new plancha pal. Esa is fabricated in collaboration with a woodworker and steel manufacturer in Niigata Prefecture, northwest of Tokyo.
Gestura wanted to design a tool with mini offset characteristics and a fish spatula feel. You'll find rounded corners with a good amount of surface area and a slightly larger handle than normal for a comfier grip. Perfect for fine pastry work like frosting a cake or smoothing batter in a tray, more heavy-duty cooking like flipping a pancake or a piece of fish in a pan, or plating purees and small veg.
Hand-wash only. If you'd like to preserve the patina/grain of the wood, please treat with walnut oil or cutting board oil.

Inspired by Japanese knives, the octagonal oak handle is lightweight yet offers a full secure grip. The corners are rounded with a good amount of surface area and a slightly larger handle than normal for a comfier grip.

We ship Tuesday to Saturday using Royal Mail Tracked 24.
All knives ship via an age verified service in accordance with The Offensive Weapons Act 2019, which will mean the postie will need you to be in to receive the delivery & to check your ID if you look under 25.
The law also requires us to carry out a soft age check of the purchaser after checkout, this is done by an automated system that usually doesn't require your input, although we will need to contact you for proof of age if you fail, which can sometimes happen if you use a work address.
