Know before you buy
No, this spreader is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the solid wood handle and the food-grade oil finish, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately.
The differences are primarily aesthetic and textural. Black Walnut offers a deep, dark tone, Maple provides a light, clean look, and Cherry features a warm, reddish hue that will darken beautifully over time.
While it features a durable stainless steel blade, it is designed specifically as a spreader. The straight edge is perfect for butter, soft cheeses, and preserves, but it is not intended for heavy-duty chopping or slicing tasks.
To keep the wood looking its best, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner. This prevents the handle from drying out and maintains the natural luster of the wood grain.
The hand-forged stainless steel blade is designed to be rigid, providing the stability you need to spread firm butter or dense spreads without the blade bending.
