6-Inch Stainless Steel Joint Knife With Soft Grip
Compatibility and working details
- Model
- 5-142
- Working width
- 6 in
- Blade
- Hollow-ground stainless steel
When to choose it
The six-inch blade gives more contact width than a four-inch joint knife if the area around the patch is open. The stainless blade is hollow-ground, which the maker describes as moving the flex point up the blade. Choose this format when you want the soft grip and listed metal handle end.
Compare the all-stainless six-inch model if you want the same nominal edge width with a polished metal grip. Measure the usable pan opening to decide whether either width works with the compound holder you already have.

Questions about this product
What changes if I buy the all-metal version?
The nominal width remains six inches. The grip material and construction change.
Where would a four-inch blade be easier to use?
Try the narrower edge where trim or another wall face leaves less clearance for the pass.
Does the soft grip make this a different blade width?
No. Compare the six-inch edge separately from the handle design.
