Richard ERGO-GRIP® Series Taping Knife, Stainless Steel, 4in

The Richard ERGO-GRIP® 4" Stainless Steel Taping Knife combines premium blade construction with an innovative ergonomic design for professional drywall finishing. Engineered for applying, spreading, and smoothing joint compounds, this versatile taping knife features a flexible Grade 440 stainless steel blade that delivers consistent performance while providing the control needed for detailed finishing, patching, and surface preparation.

The full-tang blade is heat-treated, tempered, precision-ground, mirror-polished, and lacquer-sealed for exceptional durability and a smooth working surface. Hollow-ground on both sides for optimum flexibility, the blade helps distribute drywall compound evenly for a clean, professional finish. The soft Santoprene handle provides a secure, comfortable grip, while the integrated cold-forged steel hammerhead allows contractors to set drywall nails and knock down surface irregularities without switching tools.
