Richard Super-Flex Carbon Steel Joint Knife - 3"
The Richard Super‑Flex Carbon Steel Joint Knife – 3" is a professional‑grade taping and finishing tool engineered for smooth compound application, precision detailing, and long‑lasting performance. Designed for drywall installers, finishers, and renovators, this knife features a Super‑Flex high‑carbon steel blade that delivers exceptional flexibility—ideal for feathering edges, applying lightweight mud, taping seams, patching, and setting drywall nails.
The carbon steel blade is hollow‑ground on both sides for superior flex and even compound distribution. Its full‑tang construction, combined with heat‑treatment, tempering, mirror polishing, and lacquer sealing, ensures durability, consistent blade hardness, and resistance to rust. This results in a knife that glides smoothly across surfaces while maintaining its precision edge through repeated use.
An ergonomic polypropylene or nylon handle(model‑specific) provides a comfortable, impact‑resistant, and solvent‑resistant grip suitable for long work sessions. Many models also include a nailing cap or steel hammer head, allowing users to quickly set protruding drywall fasteners without switching tools—streamlining workflow and improving efficiency.
