Selkirk · $200
The control paddle other control paddles apologize to.
A 20mm core and throat vent put everything exactly where you aimed it. The current InfiniGrit version fixes the old model's one weakness — grit that wore out fast.
The tradeoff: Elite touch, but very little free put-away power — finishing points is entirely your job.
Best for: Control purists and kitchen tacticians who've finished caring about price.
