The gunmetal finish is the darkest and most industrial-looking option in the Gestura lineup - a tumbled matte surface that reads like aged tool steel rather than polished tableware. It fits the origin story of the line well: Mr. Okada in his Niigata workshop draws from the worn character of vintage American and European steel, and the gunmetal finish brings that reference closer to the surface than the silver or gold versions. Stamped, etched, and hand-finished on a lathe, the same as every spoon in the line.
The 01 format is the solid-bowl spoon - a precise one-tablespoon capacity that removes one variable from measuring, basting, and saucing. The deep bowl holds liquid without spilling during movement. The tapered tip delivers cleanly to the plate. The long handle reaches into pots without bringing your hand close to heat. The thin flared wings scrape the bottom corners of storage containers and hold the spoon in place inside empty deli containers. Balance and weight are carefully considered in the Niigata workshop, and it shows in how the spoon sits in the hand during extended service work.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only. Dry thoroughly after washing. Not dishwasher safe.
