Hyde 02100 Flexible Putty Knife
The Hyde 02100 is a 1-1/2-inch flexible putty knife built for drywall and plastering work. Its carbon steel blade measures 3 3/4 inches long and tapers to a straight edge. A full tang runs through the 4-inch nylon handle for solid control.
Suited for smoothing compound and scraping surfaces
This knife suits tradespeople and DIYers spreading joint compound or removing loose material. The flexible blade follows contours but lacks rigidity for heavy prying or chiselling. Buyers needing a stiff blade for demolition should look at something else.
Simple hand tool with no assembly
No installation is required; the tool is ready to use straight from the pack. The fixed blade cannot be replaced or retracted, so a dull or bent edge means replacing the whole knife. The carbon steel will rust if left wet, so wipe and dry after each use.

Questions about this item
Does the 1-1/2-inch carbon-steel blade require a specific scraper handle to mount?
No, the blade is permanently fixed to its own 4-inch tapered nylon handle; nothing extra is needed.
Can the flexible blade work beside a rigid 3-inch putty knife without damaging the softer blade?
Yes, the flexible carbon-steel blade bends under pressure while the rigid knife stays flat, so each tool handles a different stage of the job.
How can I confirm the full tang runs the entire 7-3/4-inch length after first use?
Inspect the handle sides — the steel should be visible along the full taper with no gaps or rivets interrupting the line.
