Peanut Butter Spoons by Elizabeth Belz
What is a Peanut Butter Spoon you may ask? It's a super cool hand-forged stainless steel long-handled spoon suitable for scooping the last little bits of peanut butter from the bottom of the jar. Elizabeth Belz, one of our favorite people and Blacksmithing Instructors creates these fantastic spoons. The spoons range in length from 9.25- 13" long and weigh around 2.5-3 ounces each. Although called a Peanut Butter Spoon, these could easily be used to feed your sweetheart ice cream (or dig the last of the ice cream out of the tub yourself), get that last bit of mayonnaise out of the jar or whatever your heart desires.
