Putty Knife with Wooden Handle (3 inch, Carbon Steel)

Product detail

Three-inch putty knife for spreading and levelling filler, plaster and putty on walls, door frames and trim. The carbon steel blade is ground flat with enough flex to press filler into a gap and then draw it flush without digging into the surrounding surface. Blade width is 75 mm and overall length is 195 mm with the hardwood handle fitted. The riveted wooden handle is shaped to sit in the palm through long filling sessions and carries a hanging hole for a tool board or a van bulkhead. It is a plain working blade that painters, plasterers and decorators can treat as a consumable and replace once the edge wears. Sold as a single knife in the 3 inch size; the same range runs from 1 inch to 6 inch for buyers building a complete filling assortment. The plain blade suits a training bay where a newcomer learns to feather filler along a scrap board before touching a customer wall, and the hanging hole keeps knives on a bench rack so nobody hunts for one mid-stage. Merchants can hang the whole size range on a single display strip for pick-and-mix buying. Decorators fill, scrape and feather with a knife that has some flex in the blade; the wooden handle absorbs pressure on a long filling run and the carbon steel takes an edge without turning into a spring. Being carbon steel rather than stainless, the blade can be dressed with a file and re-ground once the corner rounds over, so a decorator keeps a working knife through several filling seasons. At 75 mm the blade is the width most filling work falls to: broad enough to draw a door frame down in two passes, narrow enough to work filler into a reveal without spreading it onto the wall.
