Graver

Gravers, also known as burins, are handheld tools used for engraving into metal, wood, or stone. By digging its sharpened tip into the surface of the material, one can create interesting patterns and markings with great precision - unless one is drunk. Jewelers and craftsmen are the most common users of gravers, but they can also be found in the workshops of printmakers, gunsmiths, and some dental technicians.
