What began as a customer request for a one-of-a-kind item has now become a regular offering, so this thread was moved to Gear Deals since introductory pricing is in effect for these. Check out the thread, then if you can't resist go to QiWiz.net/spatulas.html to get one of these babies. You know you want one . . .
Original post:
A request from an Aussie who likes to push the boundaries of the possible led to this project. It turned out better than I expected it to. He wanted a light spatula that was strong and not made of plastic. Voila . . .
Weighs 24 g (0.8 oz). I don't know yet if it will be one-of-a-kind or become another unique product. Used 0.020" titanium sheet for this.
Brilliant! What are the dimensions?
I think of that shape as a flipper or turner where a spatula is more like a broad dull knife.
Evidently this has some debate in the cooking world, of course:
http://www.ehow.com/info_8653294_difference-between-spatula-flipperturner.html#page=1You might find a market for a Ti spreader type spatula too, for spreading peanut butter, jams, cheeses and the like.
The other Ti implement that I want is a knockoff of the Trangia T28 pot lifter to fit a Snowpeak Ti bowl.
This is what I did with my Mega Dig, to make it easy to grip without slicing my hands while digging in hard ground. I expect it would somewhat insulate the handle if it didn't get very hot. And I always know where to find some extra GlowWire cord if I need some.
But you say want silicone insulation? Small diameter silicone tubing would work too, but it wouldn't be multi-use. So here's the solution.
Ready?
Wait for it…
The soon-to-be-famous Rainbow Scunci Handle Wrap! You'll always know where to find a Scunci when you need one. (Didn't I try to tell you on that thread yesterday that Scunci power rules?). This photo is for you, Link.
I got enough inquiries and requests to implement spatulas as a regular item. I've found a bending technique that enhances flexibility of the flipping end. Currently featuring an introductory price.
Now you can get either the Lil' Flip OR the Big Flip to match your backcountry gourmet needs. Find 'em at QiWiz.net
Mods – please move thread to "Gear Deals" if that suits.
QiWiz MODIFIED Spatula was made for me by Robert that is essentially a custom shorter/lighter Big Flip. It has more surface area than a Lil' Flip AND is made of thicker Ti sheeting. It's a one-of-a-kind custom item made to my specs. Have yet to give this one a try but from all of it attributes I feel it is going to be winner!

SIDE BAR………Since I do a lot of baking and frying I have used the Banks Alpine Fry-Bake Pan http://frybake.com/ now for over 25 years. Below is my set up at 9.7 ounces. (Putting this weight into perspective, last year on a eleven days BP &Pack Rafting on Isle Royal with the wife and four of my grandchildren (ages 10 -13) my Total Pack Weight was 22.3 pounds, of which was 5.5 lbs of pack raft. Lots of baking and frying were done by the girls during the trip for experience, to include a six pound Lake Superior Northern Pike that was given to us. This could have not been accomplished without the Fry-Bake Pan set up you see below:
