Create Bold Textures Precise Sgraffito Effects With FX Effects Scratchers

The FX Effects Scratchers Palette Knife - Pawn, 25 mm is a versatile painting tool designed for spreading, scraping, and shaping thick paints and mediums with greater control. Its rigid 3D-printed plastic blade maintains its shape under pressure, making it ideal for carving clean sgraffito lines and creating consistent textured patterns. Unlike flexible metal palette knives or silicone tools, the Pawn Scratcher provides the stability needed for precise decorative effects. It works beautifully with acrylic paints, clay, cold wax, and printmaking inks.

Built for durability and comfortable handling, the FX Effects Pawn Scratcher features a 23 mm (7/8") wide by 18 mm (11/16") long blade, a nickel-plated brass ferrule, and a varnished wood handle. Its smooth, non-porous blade is easy to clean with soap and water or SoHo Studio Wipes. Whether creating dimensional artwork, decorative finishes, or expressive surface textures, this Jerry's Artarama exclusive tool makes it easy to explore new painting techniques.
