The spoon’s edge is a simple bevel, no more. It’s cut to a certain angle for smooth contact, nothing mysterious about it, unless you’re reading into the grain of the wood or the alloy’s composition. In plain terms, it’s a tool, not a storyteller.

Sure, because spoons are the unsung crime scene investigators of kitchens, always waiting to reveal the subtle scar of a bent fork or a dull cut. Keep them sharp, keep them straight, and you’ll never need a forensic report again.
