A high-quality stainless steel knife made for cutting gold leaf into smaller pieces if needed for the gilding process. The gold leaf must be laid on a gilders cushion before cutting with the knife to avoid damaging the leaf.
- The blade should be carefully cleaned with isopropyl alcohol using a soft lint-free cotton cloth to degrease it, prior to any use. This should be repeated any time the knife becomes dirty.
- Avoid touching the blade of the knife to keep it free of oils and grease which may cause gold leaf to stick to it.
- If the knife becomes dull you can sharpen it using 400 grit sandpaper.
Blade Size - approx. 20 x 150mm
Total Length of Knife - 258mm
