Got a taping knife from a retiring guy and it changed how I finish corners

I was helping clear out an older drywaller's truck last month and he handed me this beat-up 6 inch taping knife he'd had since the 90s. The blade is way more flexible than the new ones I've been buying at Home Depot, and my inside corners came out way flatter on the last job. Anyone else find old tools work better than the stuff on shelves now?

Ain't it funny how old stuff just has that feel you can't find in new tools anymore?

Yeah that's because they actually had to make things right back then instead of just good enough to last until the warranty runs out.
