Utensil for material extraction from containers

A utensil comprising:

• an elongated handle having a first end and a second end;
• a pliant blade coupled to the first end of the elongated handle, the pliant blade comprising an edge enclosing an inner portion, wherein:
• the edge includes a pair of lateral edges, a distal edge, and a proximal edge,
• the pair of lateral edges define a plane with the distal edge and the proximal edge, and
• the pair of lateral edges are separated from each other by the distal edge and the proximal edge such that a pair of square corners is formed by each of the lateral edges and the distal edge;
• and
• a slit extending from the edge of the pliant blade inwardly into a section of the inner portion, wherein the slit includes an inner edge defined by a depth from the edge of the pliant blade inwardly into the inner portion of the pliant blade and a distal slit edge opposite a proximal slit edge, wherein the distal slit edge contacts the proximal slit edge.
