Hyde's 10" Blue Steel taping knife is the go-to second-coat and third-coat blade for hangers and finishers. The 10" reach spreads compound over butt joints in fewer passes, and the flat-back polypropylene handle keeps the tool light through a full workday.

• 10" flexible blue steel blade for second-coat and third-coat drywall finishing
• 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 feathering, second and third coats, and skim-coating butt joints
• Blade width: 10"

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