Growing up at home, it was a bench scraper. First cooking job was at a pizzeria: "bench scraper". Now after FIVE other cooking jobs at American-style kitchens (and one Italian American one, WHERE THEY MAKE THEIR OWN DOUGH), it's, "That wide scraper thing without the handle" and that's coming from my fellow cooks/chefs. The ITA/US place I worked at called it a dough shovel?

Chingadera… obviously
Dough knife but yeah bench scraper
Dough knife
Always been a bench scraper.
Bench Knife/bench scraper. I usually called the metal ones with wood handles Bench Knives and the plastic bendy ones Bench Scrapers.
Grew up in American Italian kitchen and was finally trained in classical French style. Learned dough knife first. Bench scraper second. I’ve used either term in kitchens for over 18 years now and some one gets what I’m talking about.
’The scrapey-scrapey’ was the technical term we used.
Bed Spreader.
Its the Choppy-chop
Bench scraper. Nice one,too. We have one that does a roll of the material for a handle. Awesome to clean but zero personality, sort of like a diamondplate dinner table.

Bench scraper or dough knife are the only terms I’ve known.
Sir Scrapes-a-Lot
THANK you, everybody! We all at least know it as a bench scraper. I’m just baffled why, when I ask for a bench scraper, I’ve been roadblocked by confusion for over a decade!
The great divider
The one with markings is the bread ruler. So of course, the plain ones are bread peasants.
The great divider
90% bench scraper, 5% dough cutter, 5% thingamagig
Dough cutter for me
Now I just had to find out what the correct term is in my language (Danish) and it seems like it has many names here as well 😂
Anyway I’d probably call it dejskraber, which would translate to dough scraper.
Definitely a bench knife
“where’s that uh.. that item that we use for scraping? mostly for scraping the bench?”
“oh yeah, what do we call that again?”
“no idea but you know what I mean right?”
“yeah yeah the uh.. hmmm, the scrapy utensil for primarily bench areas..”
“yeah no it’s not coming to me..”
“Aha, that’s it, **the dough card**!”
“Ah yes..”
According to Dexter, block scraper.
