putty knives
Flexible blade spreaders
Putty knives are flat-bladed hand tools used for spreading putty, spackle, or similar compounds.
The blade is flexible and typically ranges from one to six inches wide.
Despite the name, putty knives serve many purposes beyond applying putty: scraping paint, filling nail holes, prying lids off cans.
I used a putty knife to smooth the joint compound.
