A three-piece set of the Sani-Safe spreader, Dexter item 18183. Each has the same blunt, lightly flexible 3-1/2 inch stainless blade and textured handle; buying them as a set is about keeping condiments apart rather than about spares.

Dexter-Russell has made cutlery and kitchen tools in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818, and is the oldest such manufacturer in the United States.
