Coral Filling Knife 3 inch 51802

Coral 51802 is a 3-inch (75mm) Elite Scale Tang Filling Knife made by Coral Tools (a UK-based brand known for decorating and painting tools).

Key Features
Blade: Flexible stainless steel putty blade (approx. 3" / 76mm wide). Individually hardened, tempered, and ground for good flexibility, strength, and resistance to pressure.
Construction: Full scale tang design (the blade tang runs the full length of the handle with wooden scales riveted on both sides). This provides superior strength and durability compared to cheaper pressed-tang knives.
Handle: Traditional wooden scales (often rosewood-style) for a premium feel and grip.
Purpose: Designed for applying and smoothing wall fillers, putty, spackle, or joint compound. Excellent for filling holes, cracks, and repairs in plaster, drywall, or wood.

Why It's Popular
The full tang construction makes it much stronger and longer-lasting than standard filling knives.

It's part of Coral’s Elite range — considered a professional or semi-professional quality tool.
