EC Lyons : Cork Handle Double Point Etching Tool

This Double-ended Scribe Can Be Used In Etching Or Drypoint Processes. It Has A Cork Handle For Comfort During Use. If This Tool Is Used To Add Detail Or Tone Directly To The Metal Plate (a Technique Known As 'drypoint'), It Will Inscribe A Line With A Slight Burr, Which Will Print A Blurred, Indistinct Line. This Effect Can Be Controlled By Manipulating The Angle At Which The Point Meets The Plate. This Tool Is Made Of High-carbon Steel, And Is Designed To Be Resharpened Periodically.
