An updated version of the Chef's Tools that were discontinued. I'm so glad to have some good quality tools to offer. Glad to have the nylon tools at their price point, but I like the quality of this set.
 
I think they look beautiful! Can't wait to see them in person!
 
After the nice ones had been discontinued, I needed another turner, so I got the nylon one. After a few months, I noticed part of it had melted slightly!

When I told DH about the new tools, he thought I meant like the nylon turner, and he said "no way!" He thinks the nylon one is really cheap. I did correct him and tell him that these new tools should be nicer ( I am assuming they will be).
 
Ehh, I'm not excited about these. I never saw the Chef's Tools, but these didn't look so different from the nylon tools except the handle. Am I missing something? I'd really like to see silicone tools in our line (I still use my Kitchen Aid silicone ones, because I don't love working with nylon).
 
These are perfect! They are much nicer than the current nylon ones. They're sturdier, more solid. They are not quite as big and bulky as the discontinued chef's tools, which were great quality but too big for my taste and take up too much space in my drawer. They are nicely balanced, too, so shouldn't tip over out of the pan or spoon rest.

Thank you for the description! I can't wait to see them.
 
They are very nice in person. I will be replacing my nylon with these.
 
Here they are: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/377743_547892395231336_926931203_n.jpg
 
I swear at our launch they told us the handles are "glass filled" I was so confused by that but they said it was to balance them out.

I love the way they look and can't wait to get some.

I swore I heard that too, but when I was looking at the description, I can't find where it says that! My team thought I was crazy!
