Stainless steel resists rust and needs only a wipe-down, and the fact that it won't take a set means the blade edge stays true. Keep a 6-8 in. knife for taping and embedding tape, then step up to this 20 in. knife for topping and finishing coats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKeep blade edges away from your body when cleaning, as knife edges can cause cuts; wear eye protection when working overhead with joint compound.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd the MARSHALLTOWN 20 in.
