Studio Knives

Sustainably crafted and thoughtfully designed to spark joy, express your artistic intention, and support a lifetime of painting. Gamblin Studio Knives feature blades made with FlexSteel. One-piece, non-reflective carbon steel means no breakage. This provides even tension and flexibility for oils, acrylic, and gouache with excellent maneuverability. 1.5mm thick steel gradually tapers to achieve crisp edges and desired flex. Blades are magnetic and wipe clean with Gamsol, soap and water, or safflower oil.

Handles are thoughtfully designed to fit your hand and crafted from sustainably grown birch. Each handle is hand-dipped in a different color to help easily differentiate between knives. The paint utilized is REACH certified and compliant with CPSIA.
