    Any chance you could use a spatula, instead. They seem pretty similar
    and are much easier to get.

    Or try https://www.amazon.com/sp?ie=UTF8&seller=AXE4ZNVN0L8WG&asin=B003UERCR2&ref_=dp_merchant_link&isAmazonFulfilled=1
    which sells your brand of spatula. Maybe they know where to get the
    knife too.

    Or write to the company, at https://www.goodcook.com/kitchenware/cut-prep/knives.html?page=2

    Or search ebay and make it a saved search and when they get something
    that matches, they will email you. Matches or is sort of close. I
    went years and maybe 15 things before they had something very much like
    what I wanted.

    No need to buy, you can find them readily available at the rubbish dump
    which is where they end up soon after people find out how useless they are.

    It might be a cut. Which you're not supposed to do to silicone
    utensils, either. But it looks like that might be where the inner
    reinforcing element ends. It also has a chunk out of the "spine"
    near the tip.

    You could use it for spreading mayo on a sandwich and dredging the
    last bit out of the mayo jar.

    Communist spatulas can infect your food, and your mind.

    And, I take it you don't own a spatula, since you referred to your

    I probably do. Even before my mother died, I had a party, and one girl commented at the end that my drawer of kitchen tools was amazingly full.

    And when my mother died, whatever she had that I didn't have one of, I
    kept.

    You never mentioned what you really use it for. What do you do with that thing?

    Same thing everyone uses a spatula for in the kitchen, silly. :-)
    Cindy Hamilton mentioned a few - as it's a fantastic tool for what it does.

    I make my own mayonnaise out of a cup of light olive oil, juice of a lemon, some salt, a whole egg (I'm too lazy to separate the white from the yolk)
    and a tad of mustard powder and then I hand blend it into real mayonnaise.

    But then you need to scoop the emulsion out of the tupperware container.
    Why waste fresh homemade mayonnaise leaving it in the jar to wash off?

    Let's say I'm making spinach soup, which is a 1/4 pound of butter, boiled
    white potatoes and a cup and a half of spinach blended together - and then cooked corn kernels sprinkled in with a few select spices & heated on the stovetop in a large pot to eat (but you always make more, for later).

    After you eat, it's time to clean up where there's still two or three meals left in the pot, which you duly pour into Rubbermaid tupperware containers.

    (By the way, if you know where I can get them inexpensive, let me know as they're now $18 each at Costco, which is highway robber if you ask me.)

    After you pour the thick molasses-like spinach soup out into tupperware containers, you leave at least a half of a cup (or more) in the pot.

    These spatulas are perfect for scraping it out of the pot, which is good
    for the environment, good for your septic system, and good for the belly.

    Note that the little two-inch-long one-inch-wide spatulas are worthless. They're like using the wrong sized screwdriver to do the job wrong.

    Putting in a way for the men to understand, it's like using a #2 Phillips screwdriver when you need a number #3. It will eventually work.

    But it's not as efficient or pleasant to use as the right tool for the job.

    After: https://i.postimg.cc/X7T9YcJj/newgoodcook.jpg

    Now I have to find new tupperware. I'll post a separate thread on that
    as I need to take some photos of why Rubbermaid is the best brand for me.

    You never mentioned what you really use it for. What do you do with
    that thing?

    Same thing everyone uses a spatula for in the kitchen, silly. :-)
    Cindy Hamilton mentioned a few - as it's a fantastic tool for what it
    does.

    I make my own mayonnaise out of a cup of light olive oil, juice of a
    lemon,
    some salt, a whole egg (I'm too lazy to separate the white from the yolk)
    and a tad of mustard powder and then I hand blend it into real
    mayonnaise.

    But then you need to scoop the emulsion out of the tupperware container.
    Why waste fresh homemade mayonnaise leaving it in the jar to wash off?

    Let's say I'm making spinach soup, which is a 1/4 pound of butter, boiled white potatoes and a cup and a half of spinach blended together - and
    then
    cooked corn kernels sprinkled in with a few select spices & heated on the stovetop in a large pot to eat (but you always make more, for later).

    After you eat, it's time to clean up where there's still two or three
    meals
    left in the pot, which you duly pour into Rubbermaid tupperware
    containers.

    (By the way, if you know where I can get them inexpensive, let me know as they're now $18 each at Costco, which is highway robber if you ask me.)

    After you pour the thick molasses-like spinach soup out into tupperware containers, you leave at least a half of a cup (or more) in the pot.

    These spatulas are perfect for scraping it out of the pot, which is good
    for the environment, good for your septic system, and good for the belly.



    So this is what you do with it. That's why you need something stiff for scraping.

    Normal silicone spatula won't do because it is too soft, and that's why
    you need that silicone knife.

    I would suggest you try something made out of bamboo. Bamboo utensils
    are very stiff, but won't scratch glass, metal, no-stick and plastic
    surfaces.

    This one should be ideal for your application:

    Or this as a set:

    https://www.amazon.com/IMUSA-PAN-10011W-Cookware-3-Piece-Bamboo/dp/B013G8U3PO




    Note that the little two-inch-long one-inch-wide spatulas are
    worthless. They're like using the wrong sized screwdriver to do the
    job wrong.

    Putting in a way for the men to understand, it's like using a #2 Phillips screwdriver when you need a number #3. It will eventually work.

    But it's not as efficient or pleasant to use as the right tool for the
    job.

    I suggest you use borosilicate glass containers. Boroscilicate glass is
    the kind of glass in Pyrex cookware. It can withstand abrupt temperature change. Won't crack even if you splash cold tap water into it when it is
    still very hot. Will last forever if you don't drop it on hard surface. Normally borosilicate glassware are thick and heavy.

    Thank you so much. I finally grasp your point.
