This GRS Burin is a special tungsten carbide graver made for hand engraving, especially intaglio printmaking. The material is GRS C-Max, a grade of carbide that has the ability to hold a sharp edge for an incredibly long time. Because this material is a very hard tungsten carbide, it can only be sharpened using a diamond abrasive.
The burin is made from a 3.17 mm diameter round blank approximately 75 mm long.
Includes (1) C-Max Burin, (1) Graver Handle, and (1) Allen wrench.
