Concave, curves, oddball areas,,,,,,

Clean bird poop off cages. The edge is not sharp to cut into finish.

Wife used it to spread icing on cake, it creates nice little waves.


Hopefully not after cleaning the bird cage. lol

We now have a plastic curved spreader for cakes etc.
Yup the knife is back in the garage.

Mmmm... Bird poop flavored icing! Lol


It's especially tasty when the icing has a faint blue or reddish tint. It will then taste like whatever berries the bird ate last.

Good morning, here's a tip for you that might help now, or in the future. If on a PC, right click on the image, if on a phone or tablet just hold your finger on the image. Either way you will get a "pop-up menu". You'll see an option for "Google lens", and if you click on that you'll find similar images, and information. This works for anything, (not just knives), I've used it to identify birds, plants, car parts etc. It works really well. Hope this is helpful for you.

By the way sour, (apologies, I don't know your given name), anyhoo I just checked out your website, very cool, bet that's an interesting job with tons of funny stories! But still, I'll wager you a gallon of vodka that you've never captured a critter such as the one that I photographed tonight! (my latest post).

I was in the printing industry for many years and it is a padding knife. To make scratch pads you used to stack up the paper and paint it with padding compound. when it dried you would slice the pads apart with a knife like that.


Congratulations! bwilliams finally got it right! There is a well-used padding knife out in my shop that I bought about 1965. They need to be kept very sharp and without nicks so that they don't tear the paper.

A couple of months ago a simular question appeared on another venue about the knife's companion tool -- a pad counter -- an adjustable tool for separating a stack of paper into equal lifts when inserting the grey chipboard backing in the stack before applying the glue.

P.S. drucker is German for printer

Just thought about why I originally bought the padding knife.
We had just received a huge contract for padding "counter checks" for a small banking chain. Now it's hard to imagine walking into a grocery store and at each cash register there was a rack of blank checks for most of the banks in the area. Where I grew up in south-central Kansas that would include banks for maybe a 25-mile radius. Can't remember that far back, how about the first credit card you ever had or saw? Mine had a $300 limit -- I couldn't hardly believe it -- that was more than I took home in a month.
