Plastic Palette Knives - Set of 5

The Plastic Palette Knives - Pack of 5 is a versatile and essential set for any creative classroom, studio, or home art space. Designed for mixing, applying, and manipulating paint and mediums, these palette knives feature strong, flexible, and stain-free plastic blades that are ideal for both beginners and experienced artists. Each knife in the set has a different head shape, allowing users to achieve a variety of textured effects, swirls, and strokes across different painting techniques.

With lengths ranging from 16.5cm to 19cm, these knives are comfortable to hold and well-suited for applying large amounts of paint, paste, or gels to surfaces such as canvas, board, or paper.
