8" Soft-Grip Stainless Steel Taping Knife - LEVEL5 | Pro-Grade | Metal Hammer End | 5-134

I was a union carpenter when I was younger and been out of the trade a while so I was a little rusty but it was like riding a bike, it came back to me quick while I was working to remodel a room in my basement stripping the walls and ceiling down to the studs. When I threw the sheetrock on the wall and started to run some tape I found my taping knife from the local hardware store to be I dunno I just didn't like it, so I went looking around and folks recommended Level 5, so I bought this one. It's nice, it does what we want it to do, it's comfortable to use, the blade is plenty sharp, the sticker peels off a lot easier than that big box store taping knife did, so for functional us it has proven durable, and there's just what I feel is the right amount of flexibility in the blade to get the job done nicely and efficiently making the knife a good value for the money in my opinion. It is durable and cleans up nicely. I liked this so much that I ended up ordering the 32" skimming blade as well. My opinion, when ya got yourself some good tools the job just goes a lot smoother, like my walls. If ya want a level 5 drywall finish use level5 tools. I don't know if I still got it or if Level5 made me look like I still got it, but I like the results I obtained using these tools.

Very nice stainless steel blade with an exceptional finish. Handle is soft but firm and comfortable to hold. Level 5 never disappoints!

Excellent quality knife for skimming walls and repairs

Son muy resistentes y precisas, puedes olvidarlas un fin de semana en agua y no sucederá nada.

Was very much looking forward to receiving this tape knife to go along with the rest of my Level5 knives, but had a some minor scuffing and scratches when I opened it up from the shipping box 😕

The blade is super sharp! I used it this afternoon to see whether I could scrape off the texture on my ceiling, and the popcorn texture came off easily! A contractor had given me a bid for three thousand dollars to remove a popcorn ceiling that measures 1,093 square feet. Instead, I will be using this tool to remove the popcorn ceiling at my duplex apartment, as well as at my home. Will it take me a long time to finish? Maybe it will, but I am not paying $2.75 per square foot!

Love it long lasting I abuse these an they stand the test still I'm impressed for the price

Soften the corners a bit with a file. Great knife. If you need an 8" buy this one. Has a solid curve.
