Favorite knockdown knife
Anybody got a favorite knockdown knife, or one that you especially don't like? I have used the Magic Trowel and I like it; I see that somebody else has come out with a squeegee type also. Someone had said somewhere that they liked the lexan knife, but I haven't tried that one.

I like the Lexan knives. I have two of every size, the 36in is great for doing ceiling.

That was the first picture that was snagable. The ones I use are threaded for a pole. But nice try!

Sorry Mixalot, I thought you used that knife. I was only asking how you did your ceilings with a knife like that...
