Wholesale New Generation XL Palette Knives, #8005

NEW GENERATION XL PALETTE KNIVES New Generation XL Palette Knives are technical tools for moving stiff ink and paint, especially in professional and industrial environments. These large, Italian-made knives have ergonomic hardwood handles, brass fittings, and electroplated steel blades that release color easily. Stiffer and stronger than regular palette knives, the New Generation XL model features a partial-tang design with the seamless metal piece extending into the handle by a couple of inches. This provides plenty of stability for any medium, even the toughest oil-based inks. Made in Italy. RGM — MADE IN ITALY SINCE 1961. RGM is a family company in Maniago, about an hour's drive from Venice in the northeast corner of Italy. The town of Maniago has been known for many years for its fine cutlery, shears, and blades of all kinds. In the late 1950s, Rosa Gastaldo Mario decided to turn this local expertise into an art supply business, and in 1961 he officially established RGM to supply painting knives to artists around the world. Today, RGM is operated by second and third-generation members of Mario's family. From a small factory in Maniago, they're constantly working with artists to create new shapes and styles — because fine art never stops changing, and new tools are always welcome.
