When to choose it

The 06778 sits between common four- and six-inch widths. Measure the area around the patch and allow room to tilt the knife near a return. Hyde identifies the blade as flexible stainless steel in its Pro Stainless line.

Compare the six-inch high-carbon Hyde if you need a broader working edge or prefer its different blade material. The package measurements in the listing describe the packed item, so use the five-inch working width when matching the knife to a pan.

Questions about this product

How does this differ from Hyde's six-inch high-carbon knife?

This edge is an inch narrower and uses stainless steel. Compare those differences with the size and position of your work.

Does the packaging width tell me how far the edge reaches?

The package dimensions describe the packed item. Use the documented five-inch blade width.

When would four inches make more sense?

Choose a four-inch blade when trim or a close corner limits how you can position the five-inch edge.
