For the culinary minded I did sneak another broad spurtle into the shop. They are great for folding dough, making fried rice, sauteing... whatever. They are a kitchen do-all and they don't scratch your pans or break off into little microplastics.

Technical mishaps and plenty of whisky as competitors from as far afield as US and Australia vie for Golden Spurtle
There are many varieties of spurtle. The traditional Scottish cooking implement, designed for stirring porridge without forming lumps, comes in a range of sizes, can be formed from cherry wood, beech, or maple, and might be topped with a decorative finial or smoothed out at its end for a more modern finish.
