Fahnenstock Wax Knife 17.5 cm
The Fahnenstock Wax Knife is a double-ended laboratory knife used for carving, trimming, and modelling dental wax on study models and removable prosthetic set-ups. One end carries a pointed tapered blade for fine detail work on cusp tips and occlusal anatomy, while the opposite end is a wider flat blade for bulk wax reduction, margin refinement, and smoothing broad tissue surfaces. At Equate Instruments the stainless-steel blades are set into a traditional green hardwood handle with three brass rivets for a light, balanced grip. The 17.5 cm length suits both technicians and dentists working on denture set-ups, wax-ups, and diagnostic waxings in the clinic or laboratory. Clean the handle with a wipe and non-submersion protocol to protect the wood.
