Raphael Stradivarius Synthetic Kolinsky Brushes - 8341 Dagger

The Raphael Stradivarius 8341 Dagger is a premium synthetic Kolinsky brush designed for expressive, versatile strokes. Its unique angled dagger shape allows artists to create razor‑thin lines, broad sweeps, tapered strokes, foliage textures, calligraphic marks, and dynamic watercolour effects—all with a single brush.

Crafted with Raphael’s advanced synthetic Kolinsky fibres, the 8341 series delivers the spring, snap, colour‑holding capacity, and fine point of natural Kolinsky while remaining fully synthetic and cruelty‑free. This makes it an exceptional tool for watercolourists, illustrators, botanical artists, and mixed‑media painters who want maximum versatility in a single brush.
