Ampersand Scratch Knife for Scratchbord

This scratch knife is the best tool to select when trying scratchbord for the first time.

Use the fine nib of this tool to create details. Use the curved nib to create wider, more pronounced lines.

Use short, random strokes for large areas of indistinct texture such as foliage, gravel and dirt.

Show flat or curved smooth areas. Cut more in highlighted areas to shape and form.

Slightly curved strokes create convincing hair. Use random cross strokes to create grassy effects.
