Hyde's 8" Blue Steel taping knife covers the mid-range drywall pass: taping seams, applying second coats, and dressing corner bead where a 6" is too narrow and a 10" too wide. The flexible blue steel blade rides recesses cleanly and the flat-back polypropylene handle keeps the tool light for full-day jobs.

• 8" flexible blue steel blade for taping, feathering, and mid-coat drywall work
• 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 joint taping, finish coats, corner beading, and drywall patching
• Blade width: 8"

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