Engraving chisel

And here is my first iteration of the engraving chisel, to be used together with the engraving hammer showed previously.

It has an HSS square section tip, grounded at an angle so that it shows a losange shape cutting face.

My first try shows that it can cut some nice long ships,but it also shows me that I need still a lot lot lot of practice before I can show up some engraving work, but I am excited to learn !
I plan to make some other shapes, I will show that another time.

Nice tool. Looking forward to your engravings Christophe!
