Amazon Basics 4" Flexible, Soft Grip, Carbon Steel Putty Knife with Hammer End

I didn’t like the potential of getting cut upon opening the package (thankfully, I was not in a rush)! As for the product, it works fine. Comfy grip, decent blade for the purpose I need it. Could do without the scuff marks but for less than $7, it does the job.

I bought this putty knife as I prefer a flexible one.It turns out that its not very flexible at all. More stiff than flexible.However, it is still a good putty knife for the price. Comfortable and durable.Just be aware that its not very flexible. This should be changed within the title/description of product as well.

Got the job done, effortlessly. Like the hammer end too. Grip is comfortable. Everything I was looking for in a putty/ drywall tool at a good price. Great value!

nice knife

Great for a stove top grill .

More stiff than flexible

This is a good quality tool it just doesn't flex as much as I'd prefer especially for doing drywall finishing (taping and mudding) work. But as a general purpose prefill taping knife it would work. The blade is flat and smooth and spreads material evenly, the handle is grippy and comfortable and I do like that the handle end has a solid hammer end for setting drywall nails that aren't set deep enough (shiners).

Nothing special here -- I just needed a basic putty knife for small fix-its around the house and this AmazonBasics one fits the bill. The textured grip makes it easy to hold. I'm not sure how useful the hammer end is. I'll use a real hammer or mallet for that purpose.

This arrived promptly and was priced competitively with local DIY shops. It has a nice and wide blade. I have since moved away from the metal scrapers/putty knives as they quickly go rusty once they have been cleaned a few times and this can make the end less smooth allowing for imperfections. I now tend to use plastic tools instead.

The black on the handle came off on to the wall and on to my hands, leaving black marks all over the white wall. (Possibly after it was rinsed clean.) Sanding down wall got rid of worst but not all marks and caused some over-sanding - and had to keep washing more new black marks off my hands from the dirty sand to avoid spreading back onto wall. Also when you wash knife be careful to dry if off ASAP else the knife edge rusts and corrodes of, had left it to dry overnight laid flat next to sink but water must have pooled and corroded before it evaporated.

It has a very broad (15 cm plus) end, which is quite useful, compared to smaller ones and at £5.04 price, it is a great value! I needed to do some DIY stuff at home, and it came very handy. How long the steel metal quality lasts without any issues, that I shall try to update after few months.

Good item but dry well after cleaning as rust easily.

Very poor quality for what is over £9 , very disappointed
