Liquitex - Plastic Mixing Knife
Mix precise color batches with a flexible trowel that cleans instantly
Flexible white plastic flexes with your mixing pressure, letting you fold and blend colors thoroughly without the stiffness that makes metal knives tire your hand. The 7-inch trowel shape provides substantial surface area for working larger paint quantities while maintaining enough control for smaller mixes. This construction won't scratch your palette surface or damage delicate mixing wells, and paint wipes clean instantly rather than building up in crevices.
Liquitex designed this knife specifically for color mixing rather than application, with a shape and flex optimized for the folding, scraping, and blending motions that achieve even color distribution. The lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during extended mixing sessions, particularly valuable when preparing multiple custom colors or large batches for consistent coverage across canvas areas. White plastic provides clear contrast against paint colors, making it easier to judge mixture accuracy while working.
Keep one dedicated to mixing and another for palette cleanup. The economical price makes maintaining multiple knives practical, preventing color contamination between mixtures while ensuring you always have a clean tool ready.
