Plastic Palette Knife Set — 24-Piece, 6 Shapes for Oil & Acrylic
Product description
Package contents: Four sets totaling 24 plastic spatula palette knives, featuring six different blade profiles to cover a variety of painting and crafting tasks.

Functional budget knives
Exactly what I wanted for inexpensive palette knives. Different lengths are useful. The longer blades are thin and flexy—if you need rigidity, choose metal instead.

Too bendy for heavy-duty work—more like disposable cutlery. Not suitable if you need firm blades.
