Glazier's Chipping Knife 10 cm Don Carlos – Plastic Handle

The Glasaushauer 10 cm from F. HERDER is a specialised glazier's tool, developed to efficiently clear out old putty rebates. The broad, robustly built blade is designed to transfer high pressure onto a narrow surface without twisting. This is crucial when you need to remove hardened window putty, a task that often requires leverage and pushing.

The blade of this glazier's knife is significantly stronger than that of a conventional kitchen knife, to withstand the specific demands of this challenging work. Its straight edge can also be easily resharpened, so you can always work with an optimally prepared tool. This model differs from the version with a leather handle by its black plastic handle, which features an embossed Don Carlos inscription. Plastic does not absorb moisture, tolerates solvents, and can be easily wiped clean after work, allowing you uncomplicated maintenance.

This glazier's knife is the ideal tool for glaziers and craftsmen who require a robust and reliable tool for the restoration or repair of windows. It belongs to the renowned Don Carlos series by F. HERDER, a knife manufacturer from Solingen, known for its outstanding quality since 1727. The blade bears the engraving Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn, the origin statement SOLINGEN GERMANY, the spade symbol with the inscription PIKAS, and the series inscription Don Carlos.

Your glazier's chisel is a robust tool that still requires care to maintain its functionality. Clean the blade thoroughly after each use to remove putty residue or other materials. The plastic handle is insensitive to moisture and solvents and can be easily wiped clean. Avoid cleaning in the dishwasher, as this can damage the blade. Store your tool dry and safely. You can resharpen the straight cutting edge as needed with a suitable sharpening stone or honing stone to ensure optimal performance.
