The wide, stiff blade for getting a surface back to something you can work with — lifting soaked wallpaper off plaster, taking up old carpet and underlay, clearing filler, flaking paint and adhesive residue off a flat run.

Extra-hardened steel, flared out from the handle so the working edge is wider than the tang, and deliberately rigid: it pushes rather than flexes, which is the whole difference between a stripping knife and a filling knife. Long lacquered FSC beech handle with a steel ferrule and a red-dipped end.

Description

A stripping knife is the wide, stiff blade that gets a surface back to something you can work with — lifting soaked wallpaper off plaster, taking up old carpet and underlay, clearing filler, flaking paint and adhesive residue off a flat run.

The blade is extra-hardened steel, flared out from the handle so the working edge is wider than the tang. It is deliberately rigid: it pushes rather than flexes, which is the whole difference between a stripping knife and a filling knife, and the reason it will take a shove without folding.

The handle is lacquered FSC beech with a steel ferrule where the tang enters and a red-dipped end — the same construction as the rest of Staalmeester's hand tools.

On furniture it earns its place on the jobs before the paint: clearing an old finish that has already been softened, cleaning a surface up after filler, and scraping a carcass down before the first coat.

Key facts

Handle: Long, lacquered FSC beech, red-dipped end, steel ferrule
Supplied with: A plastic blade cover, which doubles as a hanging tab
Best for: Stripping wallpaper and carpet, clearing filler, flaking paint and adhesive, levelling uneven surfaces
How to use: Push it, keeping the blade close to flat against the surface

Care: Wipe dry after use and replace the cover
Series: Staalmeester 1045

Paint shop shipping FAQ

What delivery services do you use?

We only ship within the United Kingdom.

All orders are sent via Royal Mail.

'Standard delivery' means Royal Mail Tracked 48. The expected delivery timescale for this is 2–3 working days.

'Express delivery' means Royal Mail Tracked 24. This is expected to arrive in 1–2 working days.

How much will delivery cost?

The charge for delivery is based on the service (standard or express) and on the weight of the parcel.

Delivery starts at £3.95 for standard, and £4.95 for express. As a guide, if your order is heavier than two 500ml pots of paint then it will probably move up to a higher price band.
