The Padre — Titanium Fish Spatula | Prototype

$65.00

It started as a Father's Day gift. It earned its place at every fire since.

A few years back I started making titanium-headed fish spatulas for the dads and father figures in my life. Not because I couldn't find one to buy — because I wanted to make something worth giving. Something that reflected the same values I put into every knife that leaves this shop. Built from real materials. Assembled by hand. Made to be used.

These two are the originals.

After testing them through multiple seasons on grills, pans, and campfires they proved themselves completely — lightweight enough for effortless flipping, sturdy enough for thicker catches and heavier jobs, and honest enough to still be the spatula you reach for first. They're not the latest version. They're the reason the latest version exists.

The blade is Grade 5 titanium — the same alloy used in aerospace and medical applications. Light, strong, corrosion resistant, and completely food safe. It won't react with what you're cooking, stays springy under load, and handles heat, moisture, and repeated use without complaint. It's gentle on delicate fish and capable enough for everything else.

The handle is 304 stainless steel — reliable, industrial, and built to outlast the grill it's used on. Two stainless rivets create a permanent, solid connection between blade and handle. No glue, no flex, no failure points.

Designed in-house, laser cut in the USA, then fit, finished, and assembled by hand in my shop in Provo, Utah. Small batch from start to finish.

These two prototypes carry something the production run won't — the story of where this tool came from. The first iterations. The ones that proved the concept. The ones that went to fires and came back ready for more.

Only two exist. When they're gone the next opportunity is a controlled Father's Day drop of the updated model — and there's no guarantee on timing or quantity.
