Carbon Steel gravers are economically priced. They cut precisely when new, but don't retain their sharpness as long as other steel alloys.

Unless otherwise noted, all gravers come pre-shaped with a ground cutting face. Gravers must be sharpened before use. Sharpening can be done manually with a stone or automated with a motorized hone.

Lozenge Gravers have a diamond-shaped face that's like a Square Graver but with a sharper cutting angle. They're used for removing background material, shading, cutting borders, and for raising beads for stone setting.
