The tool you reach for when the counter is a mess. This large square scraper sets a pale center panel between two warm, darker strips of wood, so it looks as good hanging by the stove as it does at work. The wide blade ends in a straight, beveled edge that sweeps a cutting board or a stretch of counter clean in one long pass.

The handle rises between two pointed corners and fills the palm, and a knotted strap through the top lets it hang on a hook between jobs. Knots and swirling grain run through the pale center, and the dark side strips carry their own grain, so no two pieces are alike. It makes a handsome gift for the cook who keeps a tidy kitchen.
