Oakblade palette knives

 At Oakblade we have compiled a large collection of shapes and blade patterns that have been used throughout history but never available together all at one time! Cross through those forty shapes by four levels of flexibility for the optimum range to serve every style and discipline of painter. Rigid diamond-square tube handles offer surprising comfort and dexterity. One piece forging with a half tube neck to the blade for some suspension to dissipate the forces from the blade meeting the surface. Unlike a traditional knife with a thick rod to thin where the forces meet and one side always wins.
 A more forward flexion point optimizes control and creates a good arc curve when the blade is flexed. More flexible knives have blades that are gradually rolled tapering the thickness from neck to tip.

Palette knife blade edges and flexibility are studied as a science at the Oakblade workshop to make you the best tools for the the job.
