Results in using a FLAT GRAVER => 9 photos

One of the most desirable cutting blades, in my estimation, is the "Flat Graver". Why is this? It sculpts, but never just cuts lines.

In the hands of a sculptor, a myriad of designs can be created.

                            

 The only drawback is that a Flat Graver is best for cutting long, straight lines. It is not advisable to cut in curved areas.

 Flat gravers have limitations in their uses. Exercise caution when doing your metal sculpting.

  I used an Onglet graver to initiate the metal carving. The next step is to use the Flat graver where needed.

 The front of this Flat graver needs to be repaired to avoid the 'rough texture' seen here.

 This particular section is where the metal carving is done. If the blade is defective, then the cutting will be greatly affected.

 I use these sculpting tools of #39 and or #40 width, as I must have a variety of cutting blades at my immediate disposal.

   In this photo, there are 3 sections where the cutting is nicely progressing. 

  The following photo has a curved area that won't require a Flat Graver to be used.
