This Hyde 02300H 2-inch Stiff Putty Knife is the heavy-duty counterpart to the flexible version you previously listed.

• Stiff Blade Construction: Unlike the flexible models used for spreading compound and feathering edges, this "stiff" blade is designed to remain rigid under extreme pressure. This is essential for scraping away stubborn, hardened materials—such as dried paint, old caulk, or heavy adhesive buildup—where a flexible blade would simply bend and fail.

• Black & Silver Integrity: It features the same professional-grade, high-carbon steel as the rest of the series, but the gauge of the steel is thicker to eliminate "whip" or flex. It is ground and polished to a sharp edge, making it an aggressive tool for surface preparation.

• Durability: Because it does not flex, this knife can take a significant amount of force without fatigue, making it the right choice for scraping down rough patches, clearing out deep cracks, or chiseling away debris during the initial stages of a renovation.
