Please, please, please don’t make another handist spoon! I grow weary explaining the problems right handed spoons create for me to the general public. I just want to stir!!!!

I agree. My son is starting to help me in the kitchen and he is left handed. I don't want to keep right and left handed utensils in the kitchen, nor do I have room to have 2 of everything.
Also, I’d prefer a fairly sharp edge on the end of the spoon and more squared off than round so I can scrape the bottom of my pan. Right now I usually use a metal spatula for cooking and then have to use a spoon to get everything out of the pan. If they could be morphed into one utensil that would be perfect for me.

So many spoons presume everyone is right handed. The other giant failing of wooden spoons is being too short to stir a pot of pasta without steaming knuckles into blisters. Its rare I find a good wooden spoon that doesn't fall on its face for one of these two reasons. I can get bamboo spoons from local kitchen shop for $2.50 that work great on all counts, but I long for a really fancy, pretty wooden spoon. Real Milk Paint did a drawing for a Michigan Sloyd spoon- those are the ones I drool over.

My mom's wooden spoon has a very shallow (almost flat) bowl/head which is perfect for handmixing dough and thick mixes while preventing them from getting stuck in the bowl of the spoon, and scraping the sides of the mixing bowl.
