Adaptable Knife for Clean Trim Finishes

Perfect for trim professionals, this back relief knife is engineered to remove a shallow recess from the backside of moldings, making them easier to mount flush against slightly uneven surfaces without sacrificing appearance or alignment.

Purpose

• Reduces material at the rear of moldings to boost wall conformity
• Supports cleaner installation by preventing rocking or lifting
• Helps moldings sit level even over inconsistent drywall or plaster
• Makes trim application more forgiving in older buildings or remodels

Common Usage

• Floor-to-Wall Trim: Baseboards sit tightly against both surfaces
• Interior Casings: Improved performance on door and window frames
• Wall Rails: Applies smoothly over drywall seams or plaster cracks
• Top Trim: Allows flexible crown mounting in imperfect ceiling corners
