Extra Long, Guitar Repair Palette Knife
The RIGHT tool for safely removing bridges, fingerboards, braces, and more. This knife has a very long and thin blade that is ideal for fingerboard removal. It also works well in combination with other knives when you need gentle, consistent pressure.
The steel blade has a comfortable wood handle and versatile shape for removing a bridge, pickguard, or fingerboard extension from an instrument. The tapered blade helps separate glue seams easily.
The blade tapers to an extremely thin and fine point, easily getting into any tight space. It's also flexible, so the blade stays down while you hold the handle safely away from the guitar body. Not only is the blade flexible, it's also very sturdy.
Dimensions:
Blade length: 8-5/8" (219mm)
Blade thickness: tapers 0.044" to 0.028" (1.11mm - 0.71mm)
Blade width: 1-17/32” (38.89mm) at its widest point
This knife has a polished stainless steel blade and solid wood handle with smooth black finish.

They found hundreds of uses for them in their shop—everything from getting glue in tight spots, opening a crack, and anything where you need a little more precise control and extended reach.
