Description
Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Knife Gravers in Carbon Steel are the professional’s choice for generations of engravers, stone setters, die sinkers, jewelers, and watchmakers. These are traditional gravers — the LO0406-WS series — that require shaping and fitting into a handle before use. Carbon steel is ideal for engraving on precious metals, wood, bone, ivory, and onyx, delivering the precise control and crisp cutting action that demanding bench work requires.
Manufactured by Usines Métallurgiques de Vallorbe SA (UMV) of Vallorbe, Switzerland, these gravers are recognized worldwide by the Fish trademark and the Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made name — long regarded as the finest jeweler’s engravers on the market for their consistent quality and perfect temper. Previously sold in the USA under the Grobet name, since 2015 they have been distributed under the factory brand name Glardon-Vallorbe, the same name used throughout the rest of the world. Jewelers and stone setters everywhere continue to rely on their precision and reliability.
Swiss sizing is given in 1/10 mm increments, with USA sizing noted where available. Each graver is 100mm overall — 65mm usable shape with a 35mm tang — ready for fitting to your preferred handle.
