Meeden palette knife sets, 5 pieces with wooden handles

Explore five blade shapes for mixing, spreading and adding texture to paint. Meeden palette knife sets combine stainless steel blades with wooden handles for acrylic and oil painting.

Two sets, five knives each

• Beechwood handles: five knives with light beechwood handles and assorted narrow, broad, pointed and rounded blades.
• Stainless steel: five knives with dark wooden handles and hanging holes. Blade shapes range from a round blade to long narrow and angular forms.

Both options have metal blades and wooden handles. You receive one selected five-piece set. Paint, a palette and painting surfaces are sold separately.

Choosing a blade shape

A broad blade helps with larger colour mixes and areas; a narrow tip with local accents. Use the flat side to spread paint and the edge for lines and ridges. Mix on the palette by gathering and folding colours together. Thick paint creates raised texture, known as impasto. Try each shape with different angles, paint loads and light pressure on a scrap first.

Cleaning and storage

Remove paint residue promptly and clean according to the paint used. Water and mild soap suit water-soluble residue; for oils, follow the instructions for a suitable cleaner. Clean the blade-to-handle connection too, dry the knives and store them clean.
