Plaster Knife 160 mm – Wooden Handle CDT-C-885

Description

Reliable Leverage for Precision Model Work and Material Preparation

In the dental lab, a plaster knife is the most used—and most abused—tool on the bench. The CDT-C-885 Plaster Knife is built to handle the heavy-duty demands of model trimming and material mixing without compromising on precision. With its 160mm total length and a reinforced stainless steel blade, it provides the structural “heft” required to carve stone or mix dense alginates effortlessly.

Built for the Bench: Wood & Steel

While many modern tools use plastic, the original wooden handle of the CDT-C-885 remains the professional’s choice for a reason. Wood provides a natural, high-friction grip that feels more secure in a hand covered in plaster dust or moisture. The handle is contoured to fit the palm, allowing you to apply significant torque during mixing while reducing the cramping associated with thinner, metal-handled tools.

The blade is forged from high-grade stainless steel, balanced to maintain a sharp edge for trimming models while remaining flexible enough to scrape mixing bowls clean. It is a tool designed for the “rough” work that makes the “fine” work possible.

The Lab Workhorse

A lab knife is only as good as its construction. Original by Oman, the CDT-C-885 is built to resist the corrosive nature of dental chemicals and the constant humidity of the lab environment. The blade is securely pinned to the handle, ensuring it won’t wobble or loosen even after months of daily, repetitive use.
