#6 Buffalo Green Handle Knife

[Car 54]

Is it just me, but has the strength of these blades changed?

I've ordered 2 in the last couple of months. The handle now has a flat on each side,
and the blade seems to be pretty weak.
I've had a couple for ~10 years that the blades have been really durable and just kinda worn down,
but have not bent or have the tip break as easily as the new ones have.

Is it just me, or should I quit trying to use it to pry counter tops off?

I thought that was what tire iron was for. e in USA? That used to mean made the right way, for lasting quality. Old tools are worth searching for. We found a cache of them at the old lab. Kept them of course.

My favorite is the 7 in rosewood. Never touch the rest of them.

It could be you. I've snapped a few plaster blades being a dumbass. It's easy

I had the same experience with their plaster spatulas. Way too weak. Used it 2x and couldn't take it anymore. Just stuck it in the bin to be forgotten.

I've got an old Moyco cast aluminum handle. It's a little better, but I totally agree the wood handle ones the blades have gotten flimsier.

Maybe we can get one of these cad geniuses to turn on their swordsmith gene and make us some nice stuff from SLM?

I use butter knives as plaster spatulas.

Nice stiff back, rounded edge to follow the contour of the rubber bowl, I like it

Yeah, I've noticed one of the kiddos drug one into the plaster room. Makes a little more sense in that light.

I use spatulas for peanut butter.

They are also great for cream cheese

Somebody HAD to, you can't leave a terrible joke like that unsaid!

Got one in the drawer at home that looks identical to plaster spatulas except the polishing is done differently.

Yeah, if only
