yes .  however , the cut side is thick , as you would expect.

 

but the other side is the one I use

as you note the red silicone at the top.  it does not have a sharp edge , and the edge is not flexible 

 

next the standard Rubbermaid .  similar size.  again , it does not have a sharp , flexible edge .

 

in this size its OK .  it does possible heavier work than the green ones .  the cut one is the second from the bottom

 

and the bottom one is the smaller size  .  it's nice , but the shaft is too short for larger hands.

 

the Rubbermaid is fine in this size. .  Id like a sharp edge.   the Rubbermaid comes in larger sizes

 

built for heavier work , size wise .  but I find the larger sizes of RM have shafts that are too flexible

 

for the work intended.   but they do work.  after all , RM'ds are in most professional kitchens 

 

but for every day work , I like the thin, sharp flexible edge.

 

too bad the style is not made in similar RM larger sizes .

 

but I dont make 2 lbs ++ of stiff cookie dough , in my KA 6 qt ' professional 'mixer'

 

any more , as I sued too .  RM worked , but w the wrong flexibility in the shaft.

 

Ill give a Kudos to RM though :  th shafts are red , always a good idea.

 

P.S.:   for that price , buy tow sets :  one large , one Lg //Sm

 

cut one edge off the small , close to the shaft ( it cuts easily w kitchen shears )

 

and see how y0ou like it.  do the same for a large , and see.

 

pls posts results if you try this.

 

P.P.S.: the shaft has stainless steel in it.  so you could cut off one side 

 

until you are just short of the SS.  but I dont know how long the SS is.  

 

it might not go to the very edge of the colored area.
