Made in the US, this is absolutely the best quality. The fit and finish are first-rate. The handle is tight and has a perfect fit, very good feel in the hand.Thanks, Lamson!

This is an excellent spatula. The shape is good. The edge is thin for scooping under food in a pan. The handle seems pretty heat-resistant

The best spatula/turners ever! They are the only kind I have now. Got rid of all others.

In my photo you can see the one we have had for several years of daily use on the right, and the new one on the left. We bought a second one because we often need two spatulas while cooking and everything else we own feels like junk compared to this. Full tang, perfect weight, slight rounds on the corners, beveled front edge, USA made quality! Get it, you will be happy!

I've had both the sharp and slotted turners for well over a year. Both turners are fantastic and have held up great; there's no sign of rust, easy to clean and no warped / melted edges.The sharp turner is my favorite between the two as it's more versatile and has an easier time to keep cast iron pans clean via scraping of food stuck to the pan while cooking which helps add to the overall flavor as well.Highly recommend this turner for cast iron cooking.

I am surprised to see there are very few reviews of this item, especially because I consider this item to be one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. My husband and I both love to cook, and even a year later, we still constantly rave about how perfect this Lamson Turner is. I love items that are engineered with thoughtfulness, precision, and perfection, and this turner is one of them. The sharp edge is absolutely perfect for flipping eggs (my easy over eggs are now PERFECT!). I love the precise feeling you have when scooping from under the egg, to find that not one bit has stuck to the pan. The sharp edge is perfect for getting under the thinnest items --- crepes, eggs, etc., ensuring, a perfect flip every time. It's also great for scrambled eggs, as you can use the sharp edge to chop up the eggs as thick or as small as you desire. We used this for fried rice in the wok, pancakes, fish, etc. The 3x5 size is perfect for cooking in a fry pan from 8" to 12", or even a wok, and the handle is the perfect length to ensure full control over flipping. We use a knife sharpener to keep the edge finely pointed and it works fantastically.

I wanted a slightly larger than average turner for omelets, grilled cheese sandwiches (which I make on larger slices of bread) and my pancakes - which I prefer much larger than the traditional "silver dollar" size. That is the only use I put this turner to, and it does quite well. The blade gets under the food fine, and has enough flex.I was fortunate enough not to have the issue with a loose handle that others had. The plastic does indeed look and feel cheap, so I knew going in that I would hand-wash it, and never leave it leaning against a hot surface - good habits to start early with, so you don't fall into the mentality (so common amongst American consumers) of "everything ought to be fool-proof, therefore I am going to treat my property like a fool,and then complain when things break."I wouldn't use this turner for burgers or on the grill. It doesn't seem appropriate for anything heavy, and I wouldn't press down on it either (you're not supposed to press down on burgers anyway).This turner is holding up fine under the duties I have assigned, and I see no reason why it won't last a long time with proper care.All in all it's a fine product, I am satisfied, but considering the apparent cheapness of the build, it out to be a few dollars less - $9.99 for instance.November 2011 update: The handle has indeed become loose, and it feels even cheaper as a result, but ti still works fine.

I live in a rural area and I couldn't find a decent turner in a store within a hundred miles, literally! All thick enough plastic to challenge a wheelchair from crossing, or silicone discs on handles. I went clear to another state to find a well-made turner the right size and made of real steel to no avail.This turner is everything it should be - durable but flexible, thin bladed to avoid injuring eggs, big enough for omelettes and burgers, rust-free, and a pure delight. It was a gift for my chef-esque husband and I had to buy several more in two sizes to make him even happier.
