What I love about this particular brand and size which is produced in Italy, is how flexible the metal knife part is. Some knives are simply too stiff, heavy and not good mixing on paints and inks. This knife will spread with flex over any surface. Personally for lino printing, this super thin metal blade helps get excess ink up from the mixing surface, avoiding wastage. The pointed tip gets to those hard to reach parts of tins, tubes & pots. The crank step in the blade is perfect for handling.

Please take note the stock currently available is the main image with slightly thinner blade, not the wider blade in the video, although these both work equally well. 

Purchasing all the equipment you need when you're starting out on a new creative hobby can be expensive, here is a reasonable price item which you'll have for years. For use with any artist materials such as inks, paints, pigments & pastes.

Wash clean for water based pigments in warm soapy water & use it again, avoid soaking in water for many hours due to wooden handle. Select this item to purchase by itself or as part of a set of equipment. Buying a kit, this item will be added into the kit box unless you request otherwise by message.
