A dagger brush is shaped like a blade: long on one side, tapering to a point. The long belly stores paint along its whole length, so a single stroke can run the full height of a cloak or the length of a banner without the line thinning out or breaking.

Frequently asked questions
Dagger or liner – what is the difference?
A liner is a thin round brush with very long hair; a dagger has a flat blade. The liner draws a line of constant width, the dagger changes width as you tilt it.
Why does my line get thinner at the end?
The load ran out. Reload, overlap the previous stroke slightly while it is still wet, and the join will not show.
How do I clean an AK synthetic brush?
Rinse it in clean water – or the matching thinner for enamels and oils – before the paint sets, work brush soap into the bristles with your fingers, reshape the tip and let it dry point-up. Never leave a brush standing in a jar. The cleaners are in thinners and cleaners.
Synthetic or Kolinsky sable?
Synthetic fibre is springier, cheaper and completely indifferent to harsh thinners, so it is the right choice for varnish, enamels, oils, pigments and every abrasive technique. Sable holds more liquid and comes to a finer point – that is the da Vinci brushes range. Most painters end up owning both and using each for what it does best.
The complete range is in the AK Interactive brushes category.
