The RIGHT tool for safely removing bridges, fingerboards, braces, and more. This is like our Original Large, Guitar Repair Palette Knife, but smaller for more control. This is StewMac's Research Engineer Elliot John-Conry's favorite palette knife for bridge removal. The longer reach makes it ideal for fingerboard removal too. Combine it with our Extra Long, Guitar Repair Palette Knife to create a controlled wedge effect for tough separations.

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.

Blade length: 3-7/8" (98.42mm)

Blade thickness: tapers 0.044" to 0.020" (1.11mm - 0.50mm)

Blade width: 1-3/8” (34.9mm)

This knife has a polished stainless steel blade and solid wood handle with smooth black finish.

These are super handy! Once our crew got a hold of our early samples, they took them and wouldn't give them back. 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
