$11.99

Key Features:

USA-Made Photoetched Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Blade: The ultra-sharp, narrow rasp blade is manufactured using Microplane's proprietary photoetching process from surgical-grade stainless steel, delivering precise, effortless grating with minimal waste of expensive spices.
Optimized for Hard Spices and Garnishing: The narrow blade profile (4 7/8" grating surface, 7/16" wide) is purpose-built for grating whole nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, hard cheeses, fresh ginger, citrus zest, and chocolate shavings for coffee and cocktail garnishes.
Soft-Touch Ergonomic TPE Handle: The black TPE handle provides a secure, comfortable grip with no sharp edges during extended use, reducing hand fatigue in high-volume service environments. Integrated hanging hole allows convenient rack or hook storage.
Compact Rasp Design for Professional Portability: At only 9" overall length and 0.1 lb., this tool fits easily into a knife roll, utensil drawer, or chef's bag, making it ideal for line cooks and bartenders who need a precision spice tool on the go.
Included Protective Blade Cover: A reusable blade guard is included to protect the sharp grating surface during storage and transport, extending blade life and preventing injury.
Dishwasher Safe and BPA-Free: The stainless steel blade resists rust and corrosion through repeated machine washing, while the BPA-free TPE handle withstands heat without warping, meeting the sanitation demands of commercial kitchens.
Multi-Application Versatility: Beyond spices, this rasp performs equally well on hard cheeses, fresh ginger, citrus zest, and chocolate, making it a multi-task tool that earns its place in any professional station setup.
