Muller Straight Carbon Steel Lining Gravers

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.

Lining Gravers (Liners) feature a bottom edge that has fine grooves cut in it. The grooves create small parallel lines, perfect for background shading, cross-hatching, florentine textures, and block lettering.

To calculate the width of a Lining Graver, convert the graver number to thousandths of an inch and divide by 2, then multiply by the number of lines. A No. 18 with 10 lines would be: .018″ ÷ 2 = .009″, then .009″ × 10 = .09″ wide.

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