excellent turner, no taste, over all sturdy with flexible edges.

I purchased this with the 12" Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri. It works great. Nothing sticks to it, easy to clean and sturdy. I can't cut refrigerated butter with it because the very edge is flexible, however the Turner as whole is very strong and sturdy. It works so well I've purchased the larger red version. I've used other silicone turners in the past and they've had off flavors that migrated to the food. so far this one has no flavor impact.

Sharp, not too heavy, sturdy - definitely what I was looking for.

I purchased this as a replacement for&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Pack-of-2-Jumbo-Flexible-Plastic-Turners-with-Stainless-Steel-Handles/dp/B00Q73Z18K/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Pack of 2 Jumbo Flexible Plastic Turners with Stainless Steel Handles</a>&nbsp;which I had to throw out after the first use because the plastic melted. See my one star review on the product page.
This turner is much stronger and just what I needed to make quesadillas. It is just the right size and strong enough to hold my overfilled tortillas!
I sure it would be an excellent pancake turner as well. It is approx. 6" wide and 5.5" deep.

As reviewed by others it is very sharp and cuts crusty bread with soft inside beautifully. It is nicely weighted and perfectly balanced (blade vs handle).  The handle allows a good grip.  People have commented on handedness, I use it left-handed and I love it.

We love this turner, we've bought two in the last few months. They're durable and clean easily.

It's not sturdy. Connection to handle is already loose. It's a great turner at the initial use, but there's little in the way of longevity. I've been using it on my cast iron skillet and carbon steel pans.

I received the 6" version of this knife as a birthday present from my two boys.  Prior to this knife, my favorite workhorse was my Shun 8" chef's knife.  But the Miyabi 6000 MCT is in an entirely different class.  It cuts like a surgical tool and it is a work of art to hold.  The knife has a wonderful weight -- it's heavy in the hand, but in a way that makes it easy to cut.  It is perfectly balanced with the center of gravity just at the juncture of the tang and the handle.  The blade is incredibly hard -- 63 on the hardness scale which beats many other more expensive knives, but it doesn't appear to come at the cost of brittleness.  The knife ships with an incredible edge from the factory and I could easily cut translucent carrots, tomatoes and carrots out of the box.  The edge is 10 to 15, which in a lesser steel would lose its edge quickly, but in the few days that I've used the Miyabi I haven't seen any loss.
This knife is pure pleasure to use.  You can't go wrong.

I'm simply thrilled with this turner. It is gorgeous (I display it, when not using it, in my Calphalon stainless steel utensil crock), and the best quality turner I've ever owned. The brushing of the steel will help to make any scratching that occurs from usage less noticeable than if it were polished steel, but so far I haven't had a single scratch appear during usage! It is solid and durable-feeling without weighing a lot, VERY comfortable to hold and use, and thin enough to be able to easily get under anything you need to turn or scrape. I mainly use it with my Corning Ware or glass bakeware that gets too hot from oven use to use nylon utensils. I LOVE this turner! WELL WORTH the money spent!

I bought this turner as part of a set, and I love it. It's flexible and thin on the end to get under foods without breaking them up. I have other turners that push the food instead of going under them - not so with this turner. The stainless part of the handle and the rigidity at the top of the turner makes it possible to lift heavier foods without the turner bending to drop the food. I also love the longer handles, especially when I am turning foods that spatter.  With shorter handles, you risk being burned with hot spattering oil when you use oil.

This turner is also very easy to clean. Nothing sticks to it. Although it can be washed in the dishwasher, I always wash mine by hand so that I have it available when I need it.

I like spatulas flat and flexible like this one, which seems well made - easy to clean with a flat dull knife to remove most crud (if any sticks, most doesn't) - and easy on my pans and food.  If there were a better one for me than this, the question would become "what's the point?".  I'll probably buy another to put in the spare kitchen tools stash.

Large, sturdy, cuts through bread (frozen or otherwise), meat, tomatoes, potatoes, the whole deal. Only reason I had to replace the old was was because my father tried freshening it up with a hand saw sharpener and now it looks like something out of Mad Max. Would certainly recommend the Victorinox to anyone, though.

Very flexible, and sharpens easily, holds an edge, and has not stained. Great Value.

There is nothing like a good steel to put a crisp fine edge on a knife... this is a "Good Steel"
My old steel has lost its grooves making it into a burnishing tool... great for a cabinet scraper in the shop, but no longer effective in the kitchen.
My wife and I were slicing lemons 1/8" thick for marmalade after a quick touch-up.
I easily boned a whole turkey at thanksgiving after a honing a quite dull blade.
There were a lot of choices on Amazon. I'm sure many are just as good, maybe some are better. I won't find out as I'm happy with this choice.

If you put a good edge on it and use it for what it's designed for, cutting vegetables on a wood board, this will be the best cutter in your kitchen, and this aogami steel will hold its edge for months. Mine still shaves arm hair after being used nearly daily for 2 months since I put my initial edge on it. Shun's VG-10 would have practically rolled into the shape of a tsunami by now.

For maintenence, I just dry it off when I'm done with it, and it's fine. Never had an issue with rust yet, just make sure you rinse and dry it before putting it away, or if it'll be sitting out for more than a few minutes.

The handle is cheap and feels cheap, but that's okay and I knew that going in. I'm not a woodworker and I'm not changing it, it's not a pretty handle but it works fine and the blade more than makes up for it.

As it said in the description, it didn't come with an edge on it. It was able to cut things straight out of the box, though, just because it is so thin behind the edge that it's nearly a zero grind. This thinness means that, even though it's very hard steel that would normally be difficult to sharpen, there's so little material to remove that putting an edge on it is actually incredibly easy. More importantly, the thinness makes it cut incredibly well.

This is perfect for a Nakiri vegetable cleaver, because this thin geometry is perfect for vegetables. Using it for other things is fine, too, but I'll warn you not to use it on anything with hard parts like bones. That's the downside of this geometry and steel, if you abuse it, it will chip the edge, because the steel is so hard and thin.

Use responsibly and be rewarded with probably the best value in Japanese knives.

Pros:
------------

1) Great design with the little stand at the bottom for resting the item on the table.
2) Very good construction and build. The front edges and smooth and flat and making flips of food items very easy.

Cons:
------------
1) The charcoal/dark part is made with the hard heat-resistant material. Unfortunately the green handle is made with a soft and much less heat-resistant material. Because the handle neck is very short, you will easily place the turner in the pan and have the handle rest against the edge of the pan and thus "melting" the handle which is exactly what happened to me.
2) The neck between the turner and handle is too short. It would be best if the entire thing is extended 2-3 inches.

Overall:
--------
Good if you use it on a small pan. Do not recommend it for large or deep pans as it is too short. They need to change the handle material to be same as the turner head itself.

I have a dozen knives for different things in my collection, and I always appreciate one that is well-made and understated.  This is not a pretty knife by any stretch, and it's not ergonomic----but you'd be hard pressed to find one that opened more smoothly.  Apply a little bit of pressure to the thumb studs and the knife glides open with a solid "nock" sound.  There's no resistance or metal scratchiness to mar the smooth opening, which is real delight.

Unfortunately, the gunmetal grip is a very awkward shape for me, and in my opinion, unreasonably heavy.  This monster feels like it's almost a pound, which when coupled with the unwieldy shape, make it tough for an average build woman to hold and carry.  They could have shaved almost half a pound off this thing without compromising performance, just by thinning out the plates of the hand grip.

But the action is top notch, both in the opening and closing, and there's a lot to be said for that.  If you've ever struggled to close a knife one-handed, you know how dangerous and frustrating it is.  But even with the difficult shape of the hand grip, it's still easy to close the knife using just one thumb. If you have extraordinarily large hands, or you just prefer an extremely heavy knife, this one's for you.  As for me, it's a good addition to my library of knives, but not one that I would use for everyday tasks.

Absolutely beautiful and beautifully made Solid Turner !
Arrived perfectly packaged and boxed; no damage..
Arrived very quickly, thank you, Amazon !
This and the the All-Clad Slotted Turner are perfectly sized and matched to handle most tasks in my kitchen.
This solid Turner is of course thicker, but just enough, and very well balanced and functional..
