Ditched the 6-inch knife for a 10-inch on corners, never looked back
I used to fight inside corners with a 6-inch knife for 8 years until a guy in Denver showed me how a 10-inch with a corner trowel smooths both sides in one pass, so now I'm wondering if anyone else finds the bigger tool easier to control on long runs or is it just me?
Grabbed my 10-inch after reading this and honestly felt like I was learning to walk again. Spent years wrestling that little 6-inch like it was a toothpick, so now I'm out here overcorrecting and smearing mud everywhere like a toddler with a butter knife. The two-sided pass is a game changer for sure, but my corners are starting to look like abstract art while I get the hang of it. Better than the old way though, I'll take wonky but fast over slow and clean any day.
