Unpopular opinion: I chose a 6-inch taping knife over a 10-inch for a cathedral ceiling job last month.

I thought the smaller blade would give me more control on the angles, but honestly, it just took twice as long and my shoulder is still killing me, so has anyone found a better tool for high, sloped seams?

Wow, a drywaller I know swears by a flexible 12-inch knife for ceilings.

Honestly, a whole knife just for ceilings? Seems like overkill to me. I've used the same 6 inch for everything and it works fine. People get way too into specific tools sometimes.

Guess he's never tried taping with a butter knife.
