When to choose it

This listing identifies a 12-by-4.75-inch working blade with a one-eighth-inch concave profile. The curve is a separate specification from the blade size. Compare the pass you plan to make with that profile before choosing it over the maker's flat trowel of similar dimensions.

The seller lists a 0.7-millimeter stainless blade with an aluminum handle mount. That thickness describes the sheet of steel. If you are comparing tools by flex, look at the stated thickness, blade length and construction together.

Questions about this product

What does one eighth of an inch describe?

The stated concave profile. The listing gives 0.7 millimeters separately for the steel thickness.

When does the flat version make sense?

Compare a flat profile when the tool needs a flat contact edge for the intended pass. Check the exact model before ordering.

Will a twelve-inch knife give me the same working shape?

Compare the blade shape and construction. The number gives one dimension and does not establish the contact profile.
