When to choose it

The four-inch working width gives more clearance than the maker's six-inch version when a patch sits beside trim. The listing describes a hollow-ground stainless blade with a soft handle. Choose by the position of the repair and how you need to angle the knife.

Compare the polished all-metal four-inch model if you already know that the edge width fits and want a different grip. Check the blade flex description for each model before treating the two knives as interchangeable.

Questions about this product

What should I compare with the same-size all-metal knife?

Compare handle feel and blade construction. The working edges have the same nominal width.

Would six inches cover more of the patch at once?

It gives a wider working edge if there is enough room around the repair. Keep a narrow tool for tight returns.

Do I need a wide pan for it?

Compare the actual pan opening with the four-inch working edge and leave room to load compound.
