A bent putty knife for a professional glazing line
Putty glazing lives or dies on the angle of the blade. A firm, bent knife lets you run the bead at the right angle and pull a clean, even line down the glass. This is the knife Scott reaches for when he’s glazing, and it’s the one that gives a professional finish every time.
The blade is stiff steel, riveted into the rosewood handle and held by a heavy duty support, so it doesn’t flex on you. The smooth 35° radius bend sets the blade at the angle glazers want, and the polished metal slides clean to reduce chatter on your putty lines.
