When my all metal spatula that I use for my cast iron pans disappeared, this was a pretty big deal. Forget plastic or rubber ones. They melt in cast iron lol. That's like tossing money out the window. I looked around local retailers, they had designs that predated Pandemic, and worse, I knew exactly how each of them break. Most of them, the handle either comes apart, or it simply rusts when you soak your cast iron overnite. So when I found this one, I was quite pleased. All metal. Right bend in the handle and and pan to keep your out of the heat, and effectively lift and move food. Since it was stainless steel, it could take any amount of abuse I could deliver cooking in my cast iron. Don't be afraid to be rough with cast iron. It can take it. Unlike those expensive aluminum or stainless steel ones. It just keeps coming back for more abuse. It arrived in a plain plastic bag, and in 2 seconds, it's in the sink getting washed up. The spatula has a really fantastic finish on it. You can indeed see yourself in it. It's handle is the right bend, and long enough, to keep you out of the heat. Important when dealing with cast iron, or fire for that matter. It's lip presented no problems in moving food, and picking it up. Unlike some comments, this works really well. Now for a couple problems. First, the handle at the top, could be a bit wider. Maybe 1/2 inch. The curve in it is very nice, but if you have big hands, another 1/2 inch would be nice where you grab it. The food part of it, makes quick work of food, but like the handle, it could be about 1/2 inch wider for those bigger loads, and about an inch longer. Otherwise, this is a really nice all metal spatula. I didn't see any markings as to country of manufacture, in fact it came with no documentation, just a plastic bag, but someone went to a LOT of trouble to put that level of finish on it. You can literally see yourself in it's reflection. Despite the top of the handle could be just a bit wider, and the food section could be just a little longer and wider, this is a pretty high quality all metal spatula. Trust me, when you see the finish on this, you'll know, someone went to a LOT of trouble doing that.
