Gestura – Flexi Bench Scraper –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– A bench scraper is as essential and versatile as a good spoon. Walk into any professional kitchen and you’ll find one at every cook’s station — usually bendy plastic or chunky wood. Gestura set out to combine the flex of plastic with the heft and control of wood. The answer? Beautifully tempered spring steel paired with a perfectly balanced oak handle. There’s a subtle burr left on the steel for extra grip, and the handle edges are rounded for comfort — a small detail that makes a big difference in use. We’re genuinely excited about this one. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Form Inspired by Japanese knives, the angular oak handle is lightweight yet secure in the hand. Slightly larger than standard, with softened corners and plenty of surface area for a confident, comfortable grip. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Origin Niigata, Japan. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Materials Japanese oak paired with heat-treated flex steel that bends and springs back into shape. No resins, glues or plastics — just two clean rivets and walnut-oiled wood. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Cleaning Hand wash only. To preserve the wood’s patina, treat with walnut oil or cutting board oil regularly. As the wood is untreated by resins, dry metal-side down. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Packaging Made from recycled chipboard. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
