Richard Pro Series Hammerhead Taping Knife - 4"
The Richard Pro Series Hammerhead Taping Knife is a premium‑grade drywall finishing tool engineered for professional tapers who demand flexibility, durability, and integrated functionality on the jobsite. Designed with a flexible high‑carbon steel blade and a cold‑forged steel hammer head, this knife allows users to both apply compound and set drywall nails without switching tools. It is built to withstand daily use while delivering consistent, high‑quality finish results.
The taping knife features a 0.05" to 0.065" thick full‑tang blade that is heat‑treated, tempered, ground, mirror‑polished, and lacquer‑sealed for strength and smooth compound application. The blade’s hollow‑ground profile on both sides ensures optimum flexibility and even distribution of drywall mud across seams, edges, and joints—making it ideal for taping, patching, feathering, and finishing.
Richard’s Pro Series incorporates a polypropylene, solvent‑resistant handle designed to withstand harsh jobsite environments while maintaining a secure, comfortable grip. The handle is shaped to reduce fatigue, eliminate pressure points, and provide confident control during scraping and taping tasks. The integrated die‑cast steel hammer head features a flat striking surface and a precision‑radius edge for setting nail heads and knocking down raised fasteners cleanly and accurately.
Available in multiple widths (commonly 4", 5", 6"), the Richard Pro Series Hammerhead Taping Knife is a trusted workhorse for professionals seeking high performance, ergonomic comfort, and added versatility.
