I have in my possession an estimated 12 gravers of all lengths, why so many? During a period of many months, these gravers will get radically shortened from continual use.
It gets to a point, either I throw them away or keep them. My answer is a definite 'keep them' but how can they be still useful if they are so small? The answer is in buying an "Extended-Graver" handle, this is the "correct generic SQU name".
There are two kinds of handles, either a "One-Screw" or a "Two-Screw" style handle. I'll be showing you both of them holding a graver, then you can make your decision about which to buy and eventually use.
In this important essay, I won't delve into how to polish these gravers, this was covered in great detail in my previous essays. I'm showing only the difference and important styles of handles, agree with me?
=============================================
Many of my gravers are made with the HSS Glardon insignia, I trust them 100%. I use either the "E.C. Muller".
I've changed all of my older shortened handles, to the two-hole versions, why?
I have 2-3 handles for my "Rough-Cutting" gravers. Another batch for the "Flat-Gravers" and another group for "Bead-Raising" blades. This list of graver needs is now one handle for each graver.
"Just don't go cheap."
