Liquitex Professional Freestyle Small Painting Knife No. 13 Reviews

I'm a casual hobbyist painter, and had been looking for some knives to mix acrylic paint on a glass table top. I had tried plastic knives (don't waste your time/money), and other metal knives from a local art supply store, but all of them left trails of paint behind after scraping. I bought this and some other Liquitex knives, hoping they would cleanly scrape paint from glass, and they do a much, much better job. Though obviously pricier, the Liquitex knives have a finer edge, and seem to be much better quality as well.

Painting knife is sturdy and well made. I used it to mix paints and it does the job. It's recommended.

I took Color Theory my freshman year of college and needed something to mix paints! i purchased a previous pallet knife; one that my instructor recommended. Shortly after vigorously mixing paint the head snapped off. The head was welded on and not one piece like this one. This piece is a little on the big side, If you are mixing just to paint small pictures this will not work for you. If you need to mix different shades and make values this is great. And as I said the "blade" is one piece going into the handle so you can mix without worry! Liquitex is a great company and I would order from them any day of the week.

I am an Abstractionist. I have been using Palette Knives for over 10 years. I require a flexible tool that holds its form under almost any conbdition. Over these years, Liquitex has been a leader in the field of Palette Knife manufacture and inovation. This one knife is of this same quality as it holds a good paint load and is flexible enough to allow the user to float the paint across the canvas. There are many types of knives for working in acrylics and oil(my particular preference)paint.Liquitex is the standard piece of equipment for the use of brushless painting. Enjoy, for a tiny sum you can try just one knife out and new ideas almost pop out right on the canvas. Try 1 and let the fun begin.One more item, Amazon has plenty of great ART books that cover almost all Art Making texts, you can check their Art techniques and Artists as well as some videos about teaching and how to do videos.

It's made in China if anyone is curious.The plastic part is alright, and the metal part is a little flimsy. But otherwise it's good.

It appears to be of one piece - not welded and buffed. I hope that means it won't break as easily as the others.
