Fatigue/stress crack in my favorite spoon

This is a buncha crap. I'm not mad, though. I think it's time for an upgrade to something more robust anyway. 15 years of service, though. It was a good spoon.

Nothing that a dab of West System Epoxy would not fix.

Now if you hadn't been playing Iron Chef with that thing it would not have broken. I don't get all you posers trying to be all tactical with your spoons. That's the job of real trained "operators" who know how to wear an apron! You could have killed some one with a flying splinter from that thing. Worst yet a a splinter gets In the food and your guest dies a slow death with the splinter stuck in their throat.

Irresponsible...

You could at least gone with a "tactical assault government and police only if you are a badarse" model, if your going to be playing weekend Chef.

Spoons should only be used inside the kitchen.

There's only one use for a spoon and that's stirring... Why do any of you folks need spoons in the home anyway? Can't you just use forks or spatulas?

If we banned spoons this sort of thing wouldn't happen. Gogar was lucky. This time.


Keeeeding. Here you are Gogar... Go Hi-tech baby!

Itmay be time to upgrade in larger caliber...perhaps even a matched set:

I can pin it and cut checkering over the break. You'll never see it.
