I really need kitchenware brands to stop making perfectly good, sometimes even fairly premium tools out of steel and then wrapping them in a terrible soft-touch plastic that, after eighteen months of sitting in a hot humid kitchen, is going to depolymerize and become incredibly gross, thus rendering the entire product useless
Like, I get it, you want to make it cheap, you don't want to make a full steel handle for it and just want to have a little tang pressed into the plastic. Sure. We have a material for that, it's called polypropylene, it costs basically nothing and it's basically indestructible. You may know of it from cutting boards and cheap food-service knife handles. But no, you gotta have the fake rubber overmold plastic that is more expensive yet will disintegrate after a year.
