12-Inch Stainless Steel Taping Knife With Soft Grip
Compatibility and working details
- Model
- 5-137
- Working width
- 12 in
- Blade
- Flexible stainless steel
When to choose it
The 12-inch edge gives more contact width than a small joint knife when you are spreading the compound into the surrounding board. Compare the working area with the width of the blade before using it near an inside corner. The soft-grip handle and metal end are part of model 5-137.
Check the usable opening of your pan before ordering. A pan advertised by its outside length may have less room at the edge where you load the knife. Compare the 10-inch version if the pan or the space at the seam calls for less working width.

Questions about this product
Which tool should I use close to a return?
Compare the clearance around the seam. A smaller knife can reach an area where this blade overlaps the return.
Does the blade width establish which pan it fits?
Measure the usable opening where you load compound. The pan's stated overall length may include both ends.
Which variant should I compare if twelve inches is too wide?
The LEVEL5 5-136 is the listed ten-inch soft-grip stainless option.
