Graver
A cutting tool of hardened steel, square or lozenge-shaped in section and of varying thickness. One end has a tang for fitting in a handle and the other is ground off at an angle to obtain the cutting point or face. A graver may be used by hand for turning in the lathe or turns, or as a hand-engraving tool. The cutting face is sharpened on a fine oilstone and finished on an Arkansas stone.
