This is a ??? kitchen thing.
About 14 inches long, 3-1/4 wide and varies on thickness of flat part from relatively sharp on the front and right side to 3/8 thick on the left side.
Made from pallet oak. Used a lot of different tools, even the scrollsaw and a lot of sanding,- even using a flap-wheel on the drillpress for some of it. The sharpening was all done with sanders. 2 hand sanders and 2 different belt sanders were used. The oscillating 4” grizzly carried the heavy load, with the 6” Jet doing the sharpening part.
As I do not have a band saw the angle cuts were done with hand saws. the handle part was curt on the scrollsaw.
Finish is many (probably 15+ ) coats of walnut oil-food grade.
Design was a T & E special again.

Looks great! As for what to call it, well…Kitchen tools are often named by function (Pie server, Bowl Scraper, Pizza Peel). So what is the intended use? Flipping pancakes? Serving donuts? Whacking the knuckles of the person trying to sample the cookies that are being made for the bake sale? :-)
Thanks for sharing.

Like your Thing !
Reminds me of Butter Paddles ….
Be a good Burger Flipper.
This to me is what working with wood is all about… Go with the flow .
I would buy and use this any day rather than some precision robot made soulless junk.
500 years after we are all history your thing will still be here….

Looks like a food chisel or kitchen chisel to me.

“Kitchen slick” as in an oversized chisel. Or “an adjuster” as in the chef can adjust your mood or opinion.

Bar-B-Que Solution. Scrape the grill, it will form to it and flip buggers too! One size fits all, one tool does it all ;-)

Thinking that 3/8” edge is for discipline, and the thin edge could do a lot of flipping. I imagine Mothers everywhere are gonna want to order one, or 10. 14” is great reach, heck Mom would hardly need to move when discipline was called for, SMAK!!!!! ohhh time to turn the sammiches….
