on wall to wall corners and ceiling to wall corners?

Without doing to much damage, I haven't really come up with a decent tool for this, here in California most walls and ceilings are texture with knock down in formal areas and baths have orange peel.

Give me some ideas to try, cutting in is rough, literally...

Thanks

You're talking about that nasty rough  junk that some drywallers think is "part of the style"?

I've always just scraped lightly (from the wall into the corners) with a 4 or 6-inch d-wall blade. Same with the ceiling.

And yeah, having to make a straight line out of a drywall nightmare is a pain.
