Didn’t work well in terms of ergonomics

Handle melts
Does the job but because the handle is short and is made of plastic, or the silicon on the spatula part is short, the handle melts if rested against the pan

For right-hand users only; several concerns over its practicality
The "KitchenCraft Colourworks Silicone Multi Fish Slice/Slotted Server, 29 cm (11.5") - Classic Green" is not quite as green as the description may suggest but more greenish-khaki; alternative colours are available that may better suit your kitchen or currently used utensils and cookware. Quite why it needs the tag of 'multi' is not fully understood unless the distributors intend to show that it is a multi-purpose tool, a combination of fish slice and server. It is rather firmly attached to its display card and quite difficult to remove. Once removed, the suspension hole is usefully large enough for most hooks.It is unusual among the various similar products used over the years firstly because it is has a silicone blade whereas most used metal, nylon or PU and secondly as the blade is not completely flat but curved upwards at the narrower rear. It may be better for flipping a smaller fillet such as those of sea bass or mackerel, a cutlet or fish steak and lifting it from the pan but possibly not when handling a larger and flatter fillet such as that of plaice or sole; it may well cause those to break apart more easily than would a flat-bladed equivalent. Fish slices are also used when making omelettes, pancakes and other batter-based foods for which most are ideal and the raised back edge on this will make that impossible without creating holes or break-up. It is of a reasonable and practical length and the blade is adequately wide although about 30% less wide than one most recently used it may later be used mostly when serving and in conjunction with another similar utensil. It is slotted and the slots could help excess oil or liquids drain away and sufficiently narrow to prevent large flavourings such as small vegetables, nuts etc to escape. The shaping of the utensil and its raised edge will make it suitable for right-hand use only!While the blade is quite flexible where it is thinnest, less so where thicker, its handle is of a wholly different material and quite hard and also quite thin. The handle has a few longitudinal ridges that may be intended to aid grip but will do nothing to prevent slippage in a wet or greasy hand and where horizontal ridging could be more effective. However, the junction of handle and blade is worrying as it may be either glued or sonic welded with no visible evidence of a screw or rivet that may offer the user some assurance. Consequently, there is some concern over the viability and probable longevity of that junction.There is no indication on the packaging of a safe maximum temperature; other silicone utensils currently used are rated at either 240 or 250C which is several degrees beyond the safe temperatures of any cooking oil. There is a warning to avoid direct heat but none about the likelihood of eventual discolouration; it probably will occur but doesn't affect usability or functionality.There are concerns over its design, practicality and potential longevity but there is a 5-year guarantee quoted as available but without an indication of what will and what will not be accepted as reasonable reasons to claim. If in doubt, when it fails claim a replacement.

Looks good but doesn't function brilliantly
This spatula looks great, with a pleasant muted green colour, and it feels good too, with a comfortable soft-touch handle. However, I didn't find it particularly functional. The ridge on the side that is supposed to prevent food falling off the spatula actually makes it trickier to scoop food up.I also had a real hassle getting the tag off, and have still been unable to get the middle part out of the hole where you're supposed to hang it from. Presumably you need to be super strong to do so, or there's a knack I haven't discovered. Overall, I'm a bit disappointed.
