There is only one way to hold a graver in your hand. Should I repeat myself again? "Only one way to hold a graver". The graver tip must never go beyond the first knuckle of your middle finger! "Seeing" is better than a text explanation.
But I think one or two explanations are needed here & now. The little finger literally prevents the graver handle from sliding away from the "holding area" in the palm of your hand. My thumb and forefinger are the only fingers that hold the graver shaft, the other fingers only keep the handle in your hand. These rules are ever so important in attempting to 'Bright" & "Rough-Cutting".
