I saw my wife using these things one night and thought, wow those Palette Knives would work great when I was working on wooden stocks and when inletting so I bought some. Then I was cleaning up some slings and needed to get under the brass. These just happened to be on my workbench at the time. It was an "ah-ha" moment for me too, the blades on these are stainless steel and about 0.012" (0.31mm) thick so they slip easily between things. The ones I have are called Master's Touch and are at the Hobby Lobby for $11.00 US. Credit to my crafty wifey.
