CYCLOPEDIA OF PAINTING
Fig. 56 shows a wheel knife with steel blade ground without a bevel. It makes a clean cut without crushing the edge of the paper. The handle is said to fit the hand per-
fectly. Fig. 57 shows the position of the wheel knife in the hand when in use. The wheel knife shown in Fig. 58 has a short bevel, off-set steel bracket and maple handle.
It may be used on any depth straight edge, as it works on a long axle.
Fig. 59 shows a combination casing and corner knife. It has a cutter with a short bevel, serrated edge. It is
especially adapted for ceiling work. The knife has a fluted edge, so that it will not tear the paper.
The wheel knife shown in Fig. 60 has a short bevel, malleable iron handle and paste cleaner attachment.
