Handiest Tool

Watched "Ask This Old House" and they were cleaning the bottom of the mower with putty knives. So much better is a hive tool. It is great for many things - peeling off stubborn wall paper, scraping paint off of woodwork, glaziers use it to scrap the old putty off window frames, I use it often for many things. It is more rigid and narrower than a putty knife so you need less pressure for scraping. Both edges can be sharpened. The cheapest I have found is at Dadant.
