Kolinsky fine detail liner for ultra-thin lines and intricate script work.
The Raphael 88026 is a Kolinsky sable fine detail liner — a variant of the rigger concept but optimised for even finer, shorter lines. Where the 8802 rigger excels at long flowing strokes, the 88026 is designed for intricate detail work requiring controlled, thin lines at smaller scales.
This is a precision instrument for the finest linear detail: miniature scrollwork, tiny lettering, thin outlines, and any application where an extremely fine, consistent line is needed. The Kolinsky sable gives reliable flow and point quality that synthetic liners struggle to match.
What makes this brush special
Ultra-fine Kolinsky sable liner for the thinnest lines. More controlled than a full rigger — suited to shorter, precise strokes. Premium hair quality for consistent flow at tiny scales. A specialist tool for the most demanding linear detail.

How to care for your brush
Extreme care required for the fine tip. Rinse gently, clean with brush soap, and reshape meticulously. Store protected in a tube or case. Never press or splay. The delicate tip will last longest with the gentlest handling.
