Palette Knife 23 cm Don Carlos

The Palettenmesser 23 cm Don Carlos from F. HERDER is a specialised spreading tool for use in patisseries, confectioneries and kitchens. The long, unsharpened blade is primarily designed for spreading, smoothing and lifting masses and is not intended for cutting. This tool is aimed at professional bakers, confectioners and ambitious home cooks who value precise and even results when working with creams, glazes and doughs. It is part of the Don Carlos series, known for its high-quality kitchen and confectionery tools.

The blade is characterised by its flexibility, which springs back along its entire length. This property allows you to spread glazes, creams and other masses evenly and without leaving residues such as edges or streaks. The rounded tip protects delicate surfaces such as coated baking sheets and cake edges. Made from stainless steel and engraved as STAINLESS, this palette knife is ideal for constant contact with moist and acidic foods.

The black POM handle is firmly attached to the blade with three rivets. It is food-safe, dishwasher-safe and dimensionally stable, ensuring hygienic and long-lasting use. The blade bears the traditional engraving Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn, the spade symbol with the inscription PIKAS and the series inscription Don Carlos. This palette knife is manufactured by F. HERDER in the traditional knife city of Solingen and stands for the quality standard that has distinguished the brand since 1727.

To ensure the longevity of your palette knife, clean it thoroughly after each use. Although the POM handle is dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing to protect the blade. Dry the knife thoroughly immediately afterwards and store it in a dry place. The stainless blade requires no special care but should not remain in contact with aggressive substances for extended periods.
