Refined over nearly a decade of making, the Flip is my most versatile and most-used spatula.

Designed to slide cleanly under food, lift confidently, and hold its shape over years of daily use. The thin leading edge makes it ideal for eggs, fish, pancakes and delicate foods, while the broader body gives enough strength for heavier lifting.

Each Square Flip is hand-shaped from solid reclaimed native  Mataī, then finished by hand using NZ made beeswax for durability and comfort.


Why it works

  • Thin, tapered edge for clean flipping

  • Strong, balanced body — won’t flex or twist

  • Comfortable handle for daily use

  • Safe on all cookware, including non-stick

  • Won’t dull knives or scratch surfaces

 

Details

  • Hand-crafted in Aotearoa New Zealand
  • Made from solid native or reclaimed timber

  • Finished with food-safe oil

  • Designed for everyday cooking, not display

 

This is a tool designed to be used every day, refined slowly through years of work in real kitchens.

 

Handmade in Auckland, New Zealand by Courtney Petley.

To care for your handmade spatula hand wash in warm soapy water, do not put your spatula in the dishwasher or leave soaking in water. Keep out of direct sunlight.

All wooden Kitchen Utensils are finished with food safe New Zealand made beeswax. If you would like to refinish your Spatula you can use beeswax, or Coconut Oil. Using a cloth massage in the oil, let the utensil sit (this can be anywhere from 5minutes to overnight), then buff off with a dry cloth.

Each item is individually hand made, and is completely unique in form and grain. The piece you buy is one of a kind, therefore your purchase will vary slightly from the product image.
