Palette Knife

The Palette Knife is an indispensable studio tool for painters who love bold texture, expressive impasto work, and precise color mixing. This professional-grade knife features a flexible, high-tempered stainless steel blade with a cranked offset handle, and the raised handle design prevents your knuckles from dragging through wet paint as you work across the canvas. The smooth, non-porous blade surface picks up and releases paint cleanly, allowing you to mix large quantities of color on the palette with ease and apply thick paint passages directly to the canvas in loose, gestural strokes. Unlike brushes, palette knives create uniquely flat-edged paint marks, sharp ridges, and bold scraping effects that add dynamic texture and physicality to your paintings. The comfortable ergonomic wooden handle gives you excellent feedback and control. Also useful for scraping down the palette between sessions. Comes in a range of blade sizes and shapes including trowel, diamond, and straight varieties.
