Peanut Butter Spoon

A lifelong peanut butter addict, Baltimore native Chris Herbert turned down a job in finance to follow his passions: designing, engineering, and making. His first client was himself: he wanted a custom bar. He built it in his living room, then started getting orders. A few years later, he moved his workshop from his parents' garage to a 2,400-square-foot woodworking studio.

It was while camping during the Great American Eclipse of 2017 that the idea for the PB Spoon came to him. Whittling spoons during his downtime, he realized that they all left a lot of peanut butter in the container. As a guy who eats peanut butter with two-thirds of his meals, wasting any of it pained him. "What if there was a cross between a spoon and a spatula to scoop every last bit out of the container?" he asked himself. Many prototypes later, he had the answer.
