Appreciation post: I thought the 'two knife' seam trick was just for show

For years, I'd just use my one good knife for everything, but my buddy in Kansas City swore by keeping a separate, super sharp one just for trimming the seam tape. Tried it on a Berber job last Tuesday and the cut was so clean I didn't need to touch it up. Anyone else have a 'silly' trick that actually works?

My cousin in Denver watched an old guy use a putty knife to spread wallpaper paste. He said it was a dumb idea until he saw how smooth it went on without any bubbles. Now he keeps a cheap plastic one in his kit just for that. It looks wrong but it works every time. Why do the weird tricks always turn out to be the good ones?

Makes you wonder what other old-school hacks we're ignoring.
