Description
Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made round gravers in carbon steel are the professionals’ choice for generations. These LO0402-WS carbon steel traditional round gravers require shaping and fitting into a handle before use. Carbon steel is the ideal material for engraving on precious metals, wood, bone, ivory, and onyx, and these gravers are recognized as the finest quality jewelers’ engravers on the market — identified by the Fish trademark and the Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made brand name.
Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made gravers are manufactured by Usines Métallurgiques de Vallorbe SA (UMV) of Vallorbe, Switzerland. Previously sold in the USA under the Grobet name, since 2015 these gravers have been marketed under the factory brand name Glardon-Vallorbe — the same name used throughout the rest of the world. Jewelers, stone setters, die sinkers, and watchmakers everywhere appreciate the consistent quality and perfect temper of these precision-made tools.
Swiss sizing is measured in 1/10 mm increments, with USA graver numbers also provided where available. Many gravers are marked with both the Swiss and USA graver numbers for easy identification.
