9353 KNIFE TAPING WALL SS PRO 8IN

Overview

The Hyde Pro Stainless Steel Taping Knife (9353) is designed for professional drywall finishing, joint taping, and compound application across wallboard and plaster surfaces.

Hyde's legacy in the drywall industry dates to 1936, when the company was commissioned to design the original drywall joint knife — the standard form factor that remains in use today. The 9353 continues that lineage as a pro-grade taping knife built for painters, drywall finishers, wallpaper hangers, and finishing tradespeople who require consistent blade performance across high-volume applications.

Technical Specifications

Technical Features

• Stainless steel blade construction — Resists corrosion from prolonged contact with water-based joint compounds, extending service life in wet finishing environments.
• Flexible blade type — Allows the blade to conform to surface contours during compound feathering, enabling smooth, thin-coat finishing with reduced ridging.
• 8-inch blade width — Provides sufficient coverage for second and finish coats over drywall joints, reducing the number of passes required on wider seams.
• 9.6-inch overall length — Balances leverage and control, supporting consistent pressure distribution across the full blade width during application strokes.
• Plastic grip — Delivers a lightweight handle that reduces hand fatigue during extended finishing sessions.

Applications

• Drywall joint taping and bedding coat application
• Finish coat feathering over wallboard seams and fastener dimples
