Abstract: A tool for scraping paint from surfaces having a blade and handle fastened to a tang end of the blade. The blade has symmetrical side edges extending forwardly and outwardly from the tang to angular outer corners and a V-shaped recess formed at the center of the blade between the outer corners. Central edges extend forwardly from an apex of the recess to inner corners. The central edges form an angle from 30.degree. to 60.degree. where they are joined at the apex. Middle edges extend outwardly and rearwardly from the inner corners to angles formed between the middle central edges and intermediate edges. The intermediate edges extend outwardly to the blade's outer corners at an angle perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the blade. The blade is particularly useful in removing paint from rough surfaces or paint that is unusually thick.
