What people say after a few weeks
-
7-Piece Set“I bought these because I was tired of using black plastic spatulas that were scratched and starting to melt around the edges. The acacia feels so much nicer and more solid. I use them every day now and don’t miss the plastic at all.”
-
10-Piece Set“I mainly wanted something that could stay out on the counter without making the kitchen look cluttered. The holder and the acacia look really good together, and the utensils feel much sturdier than the cheap wooden ones we had before.”
-
7-Piece Set“I’m pretty careful about what touches our food, so replacing our plastic utensils was important to me. I like that these are solid wood and they’ve held up really well so far. I just hand wash them and rub in a little oil every now and then.”
-
7-Piece Set + Cutting Boards“I started with the utensil set and ended up ordering the cutting boards too. I like having the same acacia look across the kitchen, but more than that everything feels properly made. Nothing feels thin or flimsy like the bamboo stuff I had before.”
-
10-Piece Set“I honestly bought them because I liked how they looked in the photos, but the quality surprised me. They have a nice weight to them and the spoon rest is actually something I use every day. My old utensils were all mismatched, so this made the whole counter feel more put together.”
what is your spatula leaving behind?
Your spatula touches every meal you cook.
Nylon and plastic spatulas soften in a hot pan and release plastic into your food.
- 158°F is enough for nylon spatulas to release more plastic into food. A frying pan runs over 350°F.German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment
- 4.5x higher risk of heart attack or stroke when plastic builds up in the arteriesNEJM 2024
Take plastic out of the tools that touch every meal.

Native to northern AustraliaWhy small-leaf acacia beats other woods
Not all acacia is the same. We use small-leaf acacia (Acacia auriculiformis), a species native to the harsh north of Australia. It adapted to these conditions, which made its wood dense, hard and strong:
-
104°F summersBlistering heat, almost no shade
-
Long dry seasonsMonths without rain every year
-
Poor, stony soilOnly the toughest trees make it
This made acacia wood:
- Dense, heavy hardwood
- Resists cracking and warping
- Gentle on non-stick pans
- More hygienic than plastic
One block, no glueHow a block of acacia becomes your spoon.
Every piece starts as one solid block of small-leaf acacia and is shaped by hand in a small workshop. This is what happens before it reaches your kitchen.
-
Picking the wood
Dense small-leaf acacia with a tight grain. Hard enough to last for years, gentle enough for your non-stick pans.
-
Carving from one piece
Each spoon is cut and carved from a single block. No glue lines that can split or trap food.
-
Sanding by hand
Smoothed in several rounds until there are no splinters or rough edges left.
-
Oiling and curing
Rubbed with plant oil and beeswax, then left to cure. No lacquer that can chip into your food.

Spoon 9.4 × 2.8 in (24 × 7 cm)
Small ladle 7.5 × 3.1 in (19 × 8 cm)
Are they safe on non-stick pans?
Yes. Wood is softer than the coating, so it won't scratch non-stick, cast iron or steel.
Why small-leaf acacia?
Not all acacia is the same. We use small-leaf acacia (Acacia auriculiformis), a species native to the harsh north of Australia. It adapted to blistering heat and long dry seasons, which made its wood dense, hard and naturally oily.
Built for daily cooking. Spoons and spatulas sit in hot sauces and go in and out of the sink every day. Dense acacia stands up to that and stays smooth.
Strong but gentle. Tough enough for stirring, scraping and flipping, and still gentle on non-stick pans.
It is the same wood we use for our cutting boards.
Are wooden utensils hygienic?
Yes. In university lab tests on wooden cutting boards (Ak and Cliver, 1994), bacteria died off faster on wood than on plastic. Small-leaf acacia is dense and naturally oily, so your utensils dry fast and leave less moisture for bacteria to grow in.
Wash them by hand with warm soapy water, dry them straight away and oil them now and then.
Do I get the utensil holder?
The wooden holder (worth $39.95) comes free with the 10 piece set, together with the care oil. With the 4 or 7 piece set you can add it in the cart for $24.95 instead of $39.95.
Can they go in the dishwasher?
No. Heat and long soaking make wood crack. Wash by hand, dry them straight away and rub in a little food safe oil now and then.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
For as long as you own it, if your spoon or spatula cracks, splits or breaks under normal use, we send you a new one for free. Just email us a photo and your order number. Normal wear like knife marks, and damage from the dishwasher, soaking or an open flame, is not covered.
Will they stain?
Wood can take on a little color from turmeric or tomato over time. That is normal and does not affect how they work.
What if they are not for me?
You get a 30 day risk-free trial. If they are not for you, get in touch through our contact page and we will sort it out.
