Kraft Tool DW733PF All Stainless Steel Joint Knife with Sure Grip Handle, 6-Inch

I bought this jointing knife for those difficult places with narrow space. My old one finally gave up and the handle came apart. This new one is one piece handle, soft rubber feel and good quality stainless steel. Looking forward to trying it out. The only small complaint, not with the knife, but why do they place the large, very sticky price/barcode on the blade face? When using you need a clean metal surface otherwise it ‘drags’ and is a bugger to clean properly. Still not managed to get it all the glue off yet, even using various spirits, washing liquids etc. Really annoying.

well made, very comfortable to work with. I recommend.I will buy another size today

Very flexible...use only for finish....like 2 coat joint cement...

Nice 👌

excellent

Great

The quality of the plastering knife is atrocious and I regret buying it.

Excellent scrappers

August 2020 Update #2 (nearly 16 months later)--------------------------------How do I feel about Kraft tools? These photos of my collection should paint a complete picture :-)July 2020: Update! (14 Months Later) ---------------------------------------------KRAFT Putty Knives & Trowels are seriously the BEST. Since my original post, I've installed roughly 500 sq ft of brand new drywall and I've skim coated ceilings & walls of many rooms in my 1950's home.As a DIY'er, I've learned to genuinely enjoy the art of mudding --- and KRAFT played no small role in it. Here are some added pluses to add to my original review:- Nearly indestructible. I've accidentally left my knives submerged in a bucket of water for over a week on several occasions. Zero rust. The metal looks brand spanking new.- SHARP. These putty knives are sharper and crisper than any other I've come across. This is a major positive when mudding --- By simply changing the angle of the blade against the wall, you can cleanly remove wet mud OR hardened imperfections such as old paint drips, drywall lines or imperfections, etc (while prepping). When filling in holes, I no longer have to forcibly use the butt of the handle. I simply take the pointed corner of the knife, stick it in the hole and give it a 360 spin. Effortless divot ready for some 20 minute mud :)- SHARPPPP --- Our old electric range (stove) had probably a decades worth of baked on hardened spills. I tried cleaners with paper towels, scrub brushes, etc. Nothing worked. My trusty 4" Kraft, white vinegar and some elbow grease destroyed all traces of crud.- Limited Flex --- At first, I wasn't a fan. However, I found that lightening up my grip & holding the knife towards the back of the handle is CLUTCH. I'm getting much better results with far less effort than other flexible knives.- Rubber Grip --- I HATE to mention a single negative, because I'm a huge fan and don't want to dissuade anyone from a purchase. To be 100% transparent, the rubber grip on these knives are thin and do wear over time. I've put my knives through the ringer and that's likely the cause (weeks on end underwater LOL), so don't take this as a deterrent. I'm considering buying the all stainless version next, but either choice is a wise decision.In summary, my poor Hydes feel like Fisher Price toys now --- yearning for my attention. Do yourself a favor and pull the trigger already. All the savings in doing drywall work on your own will pay for this in minutes.The only reason I came to this page again was by mistake --- on the hunt for a 3" and 2" Kraft putty knife... and a larger finishing towel :). Hey Kraft... I'll happily take donations LOL.Buy. This. Product.May 2019: Original Review ---------------------------------------------------------You watched a few YouTube videos, decided to tackle a home renovation project and think to yourself... am I really this horrible at this?If you're like me, you started with Harbor Freight. Terrible - Dull and way too flexible. You step your game up with a 'higher end' Wal-Board from Home Depot. Unfortunately, on day 2, your "stainless steel" blade shows signs of pitting and rust.After talking to a few Pro's & browsing through Reddit, you discover Hyde.My 6-inch Hyde arrived a few weeks ago and my work immediately improved. Time & experience helped but the tool's performance is undeniable. It doesn't rust (with proper care), it's decently sharp with good amount flex.But what about Kraft? After getting a Kraft Trowel, I KNEW I had to try one of their legendary putty knives. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NK1Y0NE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)Unbelievable. You TRULY get what you pay for. Hyde will reliably get you from Point A to Point B, but KRAFT gets you there in style.From the CRISP sound of the SHARP blade, to it's ergonomic design --- this Kraft 4" (and 6") putty knife is a finely tuned instrument. You can immediately tell this company put some serious love in the development and manufacturing of this product. It feels like an extension of your hand, perfectly balanced and dying to throw some mud around.This knife deserves 5 out of 5 stars. To ease your mind, my blade was thoroughly protected in a cardboard-like sheath and then encased in a separate plastic bag (5/9/19). If "Made in USA" is important to you, I believe only the rubbery grip is done overseas. Personally, I could care less and will continue to buy Kraft products even if they were to move manufacturing to an outhouse in some foreign jungle.Buy. This. Knife.

Great Tool, easy clean and pretty.. makes you look like a professional... now go work on your skills!

Bought this to replace my old use green handle stainless knife. This one almost felt worn in when I got it. Only took about 3 days to get it how I wanted it. Hammerhead works great but my only complaint is it doesn’t “write” on drywall like my use did. I’m definitely gonna get a 4 inch next.

Good quality

Been using this for popcorn removal, and all our drywall patching work. Works very well, make sure to clean it after use.
