I've done minimal drywalling in the past, mainly just patches. After watching a few videos I decided I could do it! And I wanted to get tools that would last a long time so I chose Marshalltown for the majority of my purchases. I'm not affiliated with them whatsoever, but it was clear from many resources that they make good tools. And I agree completely.The handle on this knife (and the others) are sized well for my hands and contoured for comfort. It is a little rubbery so it's comfortable to hold and won't slip around. Some competitors' handles are slick wood, metal or plastic and I'm sure I would get tired a lot more quickly using those. The handle is also a great length, allowing my hand to stay close to the blade but far enough away so I could feather at a low angle.The blade has a slight taper to it, so the rigid tip is slightly narrower than the blade tip. This lets you get into corners (and into your mud pan) very easily. It also lets you skew the blade as you feather out the corner so you don't build up a ridge of mud and have to go over the corner multiple times. The blade is a great thickness, and will flex slightly as needed but isn't so flexible that it's easy to bend, dent or wrinkle.The stainless steel cleaned up really easily and shows no sign of wear at all. Of course, I haven't used this knife as a pro would, but I fully expect it to last a long time. Very well made and an excellent value! I'd definitely recommend these knives and would buy them again if they ever do wear out (or, more likely, if my neighbor "borrows" them)! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality. *by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2023* Marshalltown tools are usually made for the pros and this 6" drywall knife is no exception. Very nice tool. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth. *by J***V on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017* My new favorite knife. It is built strong and has a professional feeling when held compared to cheaper knives. It is weighted and stiff with a comfortable soft dense rubber handle. Totally worth the extra few dollars compared to the other brands. I'm switching all my wider blades to Marshalltown. I was using big box store blades which i found flex too much to leave a true taper as they create a recess in the mud when applying pressure. This is more relevant with 12 inch + blades but with how how reinforced this one is I can tell their wider blades are just what I needed. It takes quality tools to get quality results. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7350263-drywall-and-plastering-taping-knife-12-x-3](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7350263-drywall-and-plastering-taping-knife-12-x-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
