The short answer

The Cutco Spatula Spreader (#1768) is a wide, flexible blade with a Double-D® edge. It reaches into jars and scoops generous portions of peanut butter, mayo and frosting, then slices sandwiches, halves bagels, mixes and serves. Cutco calls it a multitasker.

Ways to use it

Cutco says the wide, flexible blade easily reaches into jars and scoops generous portions, and its guide lists mixing, spreading condiments and frosting, slicing sandwiches, serving and halving bagels. A few favorites:

  1. Peanut butter and mayo all the way to the bottom of the jar.
  2. Frosting a cake or cupcakes.
  3. Spreading cream cheese on a bagel, after halving it with the same tool.
  4. Slicing sandwiches, quesadillas and wraps.
  5. Cutting and serving brownies, lasagna and bars.
  6. Spreading butter on toast and corn on the cob.
  7. Mixing a quick dressing or dip in a bowl.

The Double-D edge

Unlike a butter knife, the Spatula Spreader has a real cutting edge: Cutco's Double-D, which provides a clean, smooth cut and stays sharp. Treat it like a knife, not a toy.

Care and sharpening

Double-D® edges stay sharp a long time because the cutting points are recessed, but they take Cutco's special tooling to resharpen, so don't run this one through a home sharpener. When it's ready, it's free: bring it to one of Faith's service events, request sharpening, or mail it to Cutco under the Forever Guarantee (a small return shipping fee applies by mail).
