Glazier's Chipping Knife 10 cm Don Carlos

The Glasaushaumesser 10 cm Don Carlos from F. HERDER is a specialized glazier's tool developed for clearing old putty rebates. This knife is an indispensable aid for glaziers and craftsmen involved in the restoration or replacement of windows. Its wide, short, and robustly ground blade allows you to apply significant pressure to a small area without the blade twisting, ensuring precise and efficient work.

The blade is significantly thicker at the spine than a conventional kitchen knife. This robust construction ensures it withstands the prying and pushing required when removing hardened window putty and old sealants. The straight edge can also be easily resharpened, ensuring your tool is always optimally ready for use. It is a durable and reliable instrument for demanding tasks.

The handle is made of layered leather and is fitted with metal rivets – a traditional construction method proven in the glazier's trade. Leather feels warm in the hand, provides a secure grip even when wet, and effectively dampens impact loads, increasing working comfort. The blade bears the engraving Friedr. Herder Abr. Sohn, the origin designation SOLINGEN GERMANY, the spade symbol with the lettering PIKAS, and the series lettering Don Carlos.

Manufactured by F. HERDER in the traditional knife city of Solingen, this glazier's knife stands for the high quality standard that has distinguished the brand since 1727. It is a genuine "Made in Germany" product, designed for durability and functionality, providing optimal support for your professional tasks.

Clean your glazier's knife thoroughly after every use to remove putty and sealant residues. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth and dry it carefully straight away. The leather handle should be kept dry; avoid prolonged contact with water. Occasional treatment of the leather with a suitable leather care product can extend its service life. The knife is not dishwasher-safe.
