Our inventory features a diverse range of widths and blade materials from industry-trusted brands like Level5, DeWalt, Hyde Tools, and more.

 

For those who prioritize corrosion resistance and easy maintenance, the Level5 10-inch Stainless Steel Taping Knife with Soft Grip Handle is an excellent choice. The stainless steel blade is designed for the perfect amount of flex, while the ergonomic soft-grip handle reduces hand fatigue during long hours of finishing.

 

When precision is required in tight spaces or for minor patch repairs, choose the Hyde Tools 1-1/2-inch Black & Silver® Flexible Putty Knife. This tool features a high-carbon steel blade that is hollow-ground for maximum flexibility, making it ideal for detail work and filling small nail holes or cracks.

 

Also from Hyde Tools, the 10-inch Pro Project Blue Steel Folded Backing Taping Knife is a staple. Blue steel offers a slightly thinner, more flexible feel than stainless steel, allowing for a feather-edge finish that requires less sanding. The folded-back design provides extra rigidity at the handle for better control.

 

We also carry the DeWalt 8-inch Stainless Steel Drywall Taping Knife with Soft Grip Handle. This knife features a large, comfortable handle and a high-impact metal end cap, perfect for setting protruding nails without needing to switch tools. It is a rugged, reliable option for daily high-volume use.
