When to choose it
The 12-inch stainless blade gives you two more inches of working width than the related ten-inch model. Use that comparison when the seam is open and there is room to keep the blade clear of a return or trim. The seller describes a flexible edge.
The blue-and-gray handle distinguishes the pictured design from the Bates blue-steel option with a darker blade. Confirm the exact stainless variant, and make sure your pan has enough working opening for a 12-inch edge.

Questions about this product
Which stainless Bates width is easier to position in a tight area?
Compare the ten-inch version if the 12-inch blade would catch trim or extend beyond the clear working area.
Is this the same blade as the blue-steel edition?
The listed material is stainless steel. Check the exact material before ordering a similar-looking tool.
Do I need a twelve-inch pan?
Check the actual usable opening rather than matching nominal size labels. Leave clearance for both blade ends.
