1-1/4" Carbon-Steel Putty Knife
The Westward 13A680 is a stiff-bladed scraper built for drywall and plastering work. Its tapered carbon-steel blade measures 1-1/4 inches wide and 3 3/8 inches long, tapering to a straight edge for precise material removal. The cushioned polypropylene and TPR handle extends 5 inches for a comfortable, ergonomic grip during extended use. Overall length reaches 8 3/8 inches.
Stiff blade under sustained pressure
The stiff, non-flexible blade resists bending when force is applied over long scraping sessions. Carbon-steel construction holds a straight edge without permanent deformation, even when clearing hardened compound or adhesive. The half-tang design transfers hand pressure directly to the blade without handle flex. Durable materials withstand repeated impact against hard surfaces.
Simple hand-tool installation
No assembly is required; the knife is ready to use straight from the package. The fixed, non-replaceable blade eliminates loose fasteners but means the entire tool must be replaced once the edge dulls beyond sharpening. The cushioned handle reduces slippage when hands are wet or dusty. California Proposition 65 warnings note chemical exposure risks from the materials used.

Questions about this item
Does the 13A680 putty knife's carbon steel blade generate noticeable heat or vibration during all-day scraping work?
The stiff carbon steel blade transfers minimal heat and vibration during extended use, and the cushioned polypropylene/TPR handle absorbs most of the remaining feedback.
What surface or material do I need to have ready before using the Westward 13A680 scraper?
The tapered 1-1/4 inch stiff blade is designed for drywall compound, plaster, paint or adhesive residue on walls, ceilings or woodwork.
Will the 13A680's half-tang construction hold up if I keep using my older full-tang knives for heavy prying?
The half-tang design handles normal scraping and spreading tasks, but it is not intended for the heavy prying loads that full-tang knives are built to withstand.
