""Adjustable" graver handles - 17 photos

 These 'Adjustable, graver handles' are the epitome of a 'graver handle'. This is because no matter the length of the blade, each blade can be 'adjusted' to the required length for YOUR HAND.

 No matter the length of your graver, each blade can now be used. 'You are really getting your dollars worth in the use of the blade'.

 I've chosen many lengths of gravers to prove my point, even the shortest blade will do what it's supposed to do. That is to aid you in gemstone setting, or engraving.

  I use two handles for one good reason, the handle on the left is for any Onglette graver. The 'wine coloured' handle is ONLY for my Flat graver blades. This is my way of keeping my blades separated.

As there is a 'slight curvature' on all of the Onglette blades, I chose a handle that will overcome this design problem. That is to buy a graver handle that has 2 screws.

 There is just one little problem with the "one screw" handle, IF THE 'SINGLE SCREW' GETS DAMAGED...(GOOD-BYE HANDLE).

 

What handle is best under 'normal' circumstances? Buy the '2-screw' handles, as I do.

 What is the optimum length of the graver in a handle? The length of the blade should not exceed the 'first' knuckle (as shown).

 I always have two handles in my work bench. One beige handle for an Onglette blade and a 'wine-coloured' for the Flat graver.

 It's my own method of grabbing the correct blade instead of searching for the correct graver and wasting my precious time.

 Here is another view of the 'graver & handle' (together) in my hand.

 

   These little pieces of bent steel are the 'keys' to tighten the graver blades into the handle.

 No matter the length of any of these Onglette blades, each can be used with no problems. This is the charm of the "Adjustable, graver handles".

 Imagine throwing away all of your FLAT gravers, just because of them getting too short? Those days are now gone.

  This is the photo of the box that this handle comes in. Now you know the 'correct name' when you start buying them.

 These are the "old-fashioned" handles that only allowed one length of blade to be used. As you can see that when I wanted to put a longer blade into this handle 'the wood split & broke'.

 

During the many years I've been buying these 'Adjustable Handles' without any second thoughts. I can't think of using any other handle.
