Hyde 06101 Putty Knife — what it is
This Hyde 06101 putty knife is a flexible hand tool built for spreading and smoothing compounds such as joint compound, plaster or filler. Its 1-1/2 inch carbon-steel blade and soft-grip polypropylene handle suit professional drywallers, plasterers and DIY renovators who need a lightweight, durable knife for finish work.
Carbon steel blade — practical limits
Carbon steel holds a keen edge for clean spreading but will rust if left wet or stored in damp conditions; wipe the blade dry after each use and apply a light oil film for longer life. The flexible blade follows curved surfaces well yet cannot be resharpened effectively once the edge rolls, and the fixed tang means the blade cannot be replaced when worn.
Before ordering — check your setup
Verify that a 1-1/2 inch blade width matches the joint or repair width you typically work on, and confirm the 8 inch overall length fits your tool belt or pouch. The hammer-end handle is designed for light tapping only; do not use it as a striking tool on hard materials or the soft-grip handle may split.

Questions about this item
Which blade width suits my drywall patching jobs?
The 1-1/2 inch carbon-steel blade is narrow enough for tight seams yet wide enough to spread compound smoothly over small repairs.
How does the flexible blade behave when I press it against a wall?
The flexible carbon-steel blade bends slightly to follow uneven surfaces, letting you feather joint compound without gouging the surrounding area.
What does the full tang and hammer end add to daily use?
A full tang runs the blade length into the soft-grip handle for strength, and the hammer end lets you tap nails or set drywall screws without switching tools.
