This distinction matters when you're smoothing gesso over canvas stretcher bars or removing old paint before applying fresh ground. The tempered steel holds its edge through repeated use, and lacquer coating resists rust between projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDual rivets anchor the blade securely to the nylon handle, eliminating the wobble that ruins precision work. The handle itself withstands studio chemicals and rough handling without cracking or degrading. Whether you're preparing panels for encaustic work, applying texture medium, or scraping dried acrylic from palettes, these putty knives handle the repetitive tasks that accompany serious studio practice. Professional hollow grinding gives you the flexibility needed for smooth application; professional taper grinding provides the stiffness required for aggressive removal. Simple, durable tools that perform specific functions reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allway","offers":[{"title":"1 1\/4 in. \/ stiff","offer_id":47980126568677,"sku":"13204","price":3.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 1\/4 in. \/ flex","offer_id":47980126601445,"sku":"30378","price":3.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/allway-classic-nylon-handle-putty-knife","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
