Waldent Fahnenstock Wax Knife Spatula Large (6/105), Double‑Ended Lab Wax Knife for Spreading, Carrying, and Carving Dental Waxes; Stainless Steel Blades, Comfortable Grip

The Waldent Fahnenstock Wax Knife Spatula Large (6/105) is a versatile, laboratory‑grade instrument built for efficient manipulation of dental waxes during prosthetic and technical workflows. The broad spatula side makes it simple to lift, carry, and spread softened wax uniformly across baseplates, rims, and frameworks, helping achieve even thickness and smooth surfaces ready for subsequent adjustment. On the opposite end, a sharpened edge supports detailed carving, line refinement, and trimming, allowing the technician to sculpt marginal contours, embrasures, and anatomical forms with confidence. Stainless steel blades are engineered to tolerate quick, light flame warming so wax can be adapted seamlessly, flowed into fine features, or polished to a clean finish without drag. The handle is designed for a stable grip and balanced feel, promoting consistent control over both broad strokes and fine detail work to reduce hand strain during long bench sessions. Surface finishes are chosen to clean easily with routine lab disinfectants after wax removal; when flame‑heating the blade, brief exposure is recommended to avoid carbon buildup and preserve edge quality. Typical applications include: Building and smoothing occlusal rims and baseplate borders. Contouring denture wax‑ups and refining cervical and occlusal anatomy. Shaping and trimming inlay/onlay pattern waxes prior to investing. General wax pickup, transfer, and surface planing during try‑ins and adjustments. Use tips: Lightly warm the blade before spreading or finishing to minimize chatter and achieve glassy surfaces. Keep separate alcohol or clean cloth nearby to wipe residue and maintain a sharp, clean edge. Avoid excessive overheating to prevent soot deposits and edge temper loss; re‑hone periodically if needed. Store dry and protected from impact to maintain edge straightness and surface finish.
