I know everyone swears by the 6-inch knife for taping, but my 10-inch gave me a flatter finish on a long ceiling seam.

Used it on a 16-foot run in a Bakersville remodel last month and the extra length cut down on ridges. Anyone else find a bigger tool works better for certain joints?

Yeah I saw a video where a guy said the same thing. He argued a longer knife bridges small humps in the drywall better. Makes sense if you're working with a less than perfect hang.

My first year I only used a 6-inch knife. That video made me try a 12-inch for the second coat and it's a total game changer. It really does hide those little bumps way better.
