Tool for imparting a knocked-down pattern to a wet, textured topping compound applied to a surface, and method of using the same. The tool is formed as including a generally planar, elongate base member having a widthwise extent extending between a first and a second edge, and a lengthwise extent extending along a longitudinal axis from a first to a second end. A flexible blade is provided to extend lengthwise with the longitudinal axis of the base member intermediate the first and second end thereof. The blade has a widthwise extent extending between a proximal edge supported by the base member and a distal edge disposed outwardly from the first edge of the base member which defines with the distal edge of the blade an upper working surface for contact with the topping compound. For moving the blade across the surface, a handle is provided to extend between a mounting end receiving the second edge of the base member intermediate the first and second end thereof, and a control end potion disposed outwardly of the base member opposite the blade. The handle is configured for a generally parallel orientation with the surface disposing substantially the entire working surface of the blade in a contact adjacency with the surface effective when the control end is pulled across the surface to splay the topping compound into a generally consistent knock-down relief pattern.
