8" Soft-Grip Stainless Steel Drywall Joint Knife - LEVEL5 | Pro-Grade | Comfortable Finishing Hand Tool | Metal Hammer End | Sheetrock Gyprock Plasterboard Mud | 5-144

I got this with the sole intention of using it to ice wedding cakes and it works wonderfully! Easy to clean and is high quality!

Absolutely thrilled with this purchase! The product exceeded my expectations in every way—great quality, well-made, and performs exactly as described. Shipping was fast, and the packaging ensured everything arrived in perfect condition. I appreciate the attention to detail and thought put into this. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something reliable and worth every penny. I’m beyond satisfied and would definitely buy again.

I have been using cheep knives sometimes even plastic for 20+ years of remodeling and repair. I am by no means professional though I usually don't have any sanding, just a wipe with wet terrycloth over a board. These Level 5 tools stepped up my game so much I can't put a number on it. Maybe 200% or so. They feel right, are balanced, the hollow grind has perfect flex for me. Yes, the label does peel off with ease and cleanup is a garden sprayer.I did radius one corner but that's just my personal preference for working corners.I can't believe how well mud spreads with these. Yes, you have to control them, the operative is you can without fighting.

Great quality.

This is as high quality as I've ever seen, and I've bought more than a few taping knives. The handle is contoured to fit my hand, and the rubber is grippy. The edge of the blade is slightly tapered... almost rounded at both the edge and the corners. It's like it's been used for a couple of hundred hours.It has a good amount of flex in it, like a blue carbon steel blade, but it won't rust. I laid down a room's worth of tape with this knife, and not one snag, including corner tapes. No other knife I've purchased and used was this smooth when brand new.The 'hammer' end is tapered so you won't rip any paper if you use it to set a nail, and there's a big hole to hang it if that's your thing.Highly recommended.

I'm a beginner, so take this with a grain of salt. I thought it might be good if this were slightly longer, because my knuckles kept touching unwanted places while using it. I have a 4" Husky knife which is a little longer. This was meant to replace the Husky, but I'm not so sure it will...Update: used it for another coat and was better with it already.I like the slight curve which as I understand knives like this should have, which my Husky does not have. However there doesn’t seem to be any consistency with Level5 in the curve direction with regards to the design of the product: the blade has “stainless steel” etched in it, and whereas on my 4” knife the etched side is concave, my 6” Level5 knife is the opposite. This should be consistent so that people don’t have to mark their knives or constantly look at the blade from the side or top to see which side is curved.

Love this knife, quality piece, straight as straight gets!

I bought this Level one joint knife after purchasing their scrapper, I like the feel and finish, easy to clean and the grip feels perfect. One huge thing I like about Level One is their labels come right off, no scrapping or rubbing with Goof-Off for 15-20 minutes.
