This combination tool has a twisted shank of high carbon tool
steel, and is tipped with a different tool at each end: a burnisher
and a needle point scribe.Burnishers are used to flatten a section
of a plate in order to remove engraved or etched patterns and
lines. This 'erases' the marks on this area. Do not use the end of
the tool; use the 'belly' of the tool, just below the tip.The other
end of the tool has a needle point scribe. 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 end of the tool is designed to be resharpened
periodically.This tool is manufactured by EC Lyons.
