Trekell Paint and Palette Knives - Style 5 - Wide Teardrop

Trekell Paint & Palette Knife – Style 5 Wide Teardrop

The Trekell Style 5 Wide Teardrop is a broader take on the classic teardrop palette knife, giving artists more surface area for spreading, applying, and manipulating paint.

Its wider body makes it especially useful for moving larger amounts of color and creating broader strokes and areas of texture. The rounded tip is well suited for defined dabs and individual marks, while the long edges can be used to pull lines, create edges, and spread paint across the surface.

The flexible stainless steel blade provides a balance of spring and control for both mixing and painting. A 4 1/2" rubber Trekell handle provides a comfortable grip during extended studio use.

What Is a Wide Teardrop Palette Knife Best For?

The Wide Teardrop is a good choice when you want the versatility of a traditional teardrop knife with more surface area. Use the broad body to spread and layer color, the edges to pull lines and define shapes, and the rounded tip to place larger, more deliberate dabs of paint. The additional width also makes it useful for building texture and working with heavier applications of paint.

Care: Wipe the blade clean promptly after use and avoid allowing paint or mediums to dry around the base of the blade.
