Gilders Knife - Stainless Steel

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.

1. 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.
2. Avoid touching the blade of the knife to keep it free of oils and grease which may cause gold leaf to stick to it.
3. If the knife becomes dull you can sharpen it using 400 grit sandpaper.

Blade Size - approx. 20 x 150mm

Total Length of Knife - 258mm
