Trekell Paint and Palette Knives - Style 6 - Rounded Teardrop

Trekell Paint & Palette Knife – Style 6 Rounded Teardrop

The Trekell Style 6 Rounded Teardrop sits between the Thin and Wide Teardrop shapes, giving artists a versatile middle ground for both controlled paint application and broader marks.

Its rounded, moderately wide blade provides more surface area than the Thin Teardrop without feeling as broad as the Wide Teardrop. The long edges are useful for pulling lines, spreading color, and defining edges, while the rounded tip works well for dabs, soft marks, and controlled paint placement.

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 Rounded Teardrop Palette Knife Best For?

The Rounded Teardrop is a versatile choice for artists who want something between a narrow detail knife and a broader painting knife. It has enough surface area for spreading and layering paint while remaining manageable for smaller marks, lines, edges, and controlled texture. If the Thin Teardrop feels too narrow and the Wide Teardrop feels larger than you need, the Rounded Teardrop offers a useful middle option.

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