10-Inch Stainless Steel Taping Knife With Soft Grip
Compatibility and working details
- Model
- 5-136
- Working width
- 10 in
- Blade
- Flexible stainless steel
When to choose it
The ten-inch working width helps near a return or trim where a longer knife needs more clearance. The listing describes a flexible stainless blade and a soft handle with a metal end. Check the working width against the portion of the seam you need to cover.
Compare model 5-137 when the area and pan can accommodate a wider edge. If you need both widths plus smaller placement knives, compare the four-knife set that lists both of these taping models.
