It is a wide plastering knife used for spreading and levelling plaster, skim coat and jointing compound over large wall or ceiling areas. The 60 cm blade helps create smoother, more uniform finishes with fewer passes.
The extra width allows you to cover more surface in one pass, which helps reduce lap marks and ridges. It’s especially useful for finishing broad surfaces like full walls, ceilings or wide jointed areas.
Typically, 60 cm plaster knives use a slightly flexible blade that can follow minor surface irregularities while still levelling the compound. This flexibility helps achieve a flatter, more consistent finish.
Yes, it can be used with gypsum plaster, jointing compound and most skim coat products. For very coarse or thick materials, a traditional trowel may be used first, followed by the 60 cm knife for final levelling.
Beginners can use it, but there is a short learning curve. Once you get comfortable with the angle and pressure, it becomes an excellent tool for achieving professional-looking finishes on large surfaces.
Remove excess plaster with a smaller scraper or trowel, then wash the blade with clean water before the material hardens. Avoid using metal tools that can scratch the blade edge, as scratches may affect the finish.
Not completely. A normal trowel is still useful for smaller areas, corners and initial application. The 60 cm knife is best for final levelling and smoothing of larger surfaces once material is roughly in place.
Yes. It is very effective on ceilings because it can span wide areas and reduce joint lines. However, working overhead requires good control and may be tiring; using a lightweight knife and proper stance helps.
An ergonomic handle that fits the hand comfortably and offers non-slip grip is ideal. It improves control, especially when working with a wide blade loaded with plaster or compound.
Clean and dry the blade, then store it flat or hang it where the edge is protected. Avoid placing heavy objects on it to prevent bending, and keep it away from children to avoid accidental injury.
