Removing Caulk from Window Panes

Help! Previous owner caulked the window panes into the sash rather than applying glazing compound. I've broken two window panes trying to get this stuff out with a putty knife, and I've broken three blades trying to cut it out with a utility knife. I'm nervous about using the multi-purpose tools with the caulk cutting blades as the caulk is applied direcly to the glass. Any suggestions to help me keep both my sanity and these historic windows intact?
