Drywall Joint Knife Features

LEVEL5 has put years of cutting-edge innovation and design into the construction of our full range of drywall joint knives. Here’s LEVEL5 President Scott Murray giving the rundown on why  the LEVEL5 Putty Knives are the best on the market.

Although joint knives (also known as “Putty Knives”) seem simple on the surface, LEVEL5 has put years of cutting-edge innovation and design into the construction of our full range of drywall joint knives. In this video, L5 CEO Scott Murray gives you the rundown on why exactly the LEVEL5 Putty Knives are the best on the market.

This LEVEL5 6″ Welded Joint Knife offers outstanding quality and a Lifetime Guarantee. It features a patent-pending, full length internal tang that has been robotically welded at four points of contact for extreme durability. The world’s strongest drywall knives. They feature a premium, lightweight stainless steel construction, are extremely comfortable in the hand and clean up like a dream.

How does this differ from the competitors? Massively. As Scott points out in the video, most of the other manufacturers of hand finishing tools implement a partial tang into their joint knives which can lead to uneven stress dispersal and eventually an earlier failure relative to the full tang design we use.

Does a full tang blade cost more to produce? Of course, but we position ourselves in the service of the finisher and at the end of the day, we want to offer the best quality tools you can get your hands on.

Does a full tang knife last longer? You bet. That’s why we confidently offer lifetime warranties on all of our stainless steel, soft-grip and welded knives. Break the knife after years of heavy use and we’ll replace it free of charge!

Here’s a quick list of features found in all of LEVEL5’s joint knives:

-Full-Tang blades give our knives a robust, fail-proof structure.

-Perfectly balanced for precision and ergonomics.

-Hammer ends for functionality and drop-resistance.

-Hollow grind blade prevents premature failure and provides more flex and feel.

-Mirror-polished edges prevents lines in joint compound.
