Hyde's 12" Blue Steel taping knife is the finish-coat blade for pulling wide top coats and feathering butt joints across drywall. The 12" span covers ground fast and the flat-back polypropylene handle stays comfortable across full ceiling and long-wall runs.

• 12" flexible blue steel blade for finish coats and wide-area feathering
• Blue steel finish resists rust and lets compound release cleanly off the blade
• Textured polypropylene handle contoured for a positive grip in gloved or wet hands
• Flat-back design runs corners and inside beads faster than aluminum-back knives
• 23% lighter than a conventional aluminum-back taping knife for less arm fatigue
• Metal hang hole for pouch or pegboard storage
• For finish coats, skim coats, and feathering butt joints on ceilings and long walls
• Blade width: 12"

Tip: Wipe the blade with a wet sponge between coats -- dried compound on blue steel scratches the finish and drags on the next pass.
