RGM
Beginning in 1961, RGM is an Italian manufacturer of great art supplies and tools. Among these are painting palette knives, Mosaic tools, sculptor’s and restorer’s instruments, pigments for fine arts and much more. Each product is guaranteed to bring exceptional satisfaction to all craftsmen and artists.
One RGM’s most popular products are their painting knives. Choosing a good quality painting knife for projects depends mainly upon personal taste. However, it is important to choose one that is flexible allowing it to spring into shape when pressure is released. Other than spring and bounce, artists should remember that a blade that is narrow will have more bendability than a wide one. Artists will be limited to the marks that can be made with a stiff blade. There will be less control as well. Metal knives are preferred over those that are plastic by artists and crafters around the world.
Just as important as the type of blade is the handle of the knife. If the handle does not feel balanced in the hand, it probably will not deliver as needed. Some wooden handle knives can leave splinters in the hand as well especially if they are of pure quality. To prevent the rotation of the blade, artists need to select a knife with a well attached blade.
