I was on the lookout for a good quality wood engraving tool for my Industrial and Scientific projects when I came across this gem. As my tests showed this tool is quite sturdy and has a comfortable grip that allowed me to carve intricate designs with ease. The blade is sharp and durable, and it didn't blunt quickly after multiple uses, which is definitely a plus.the only downside was that the HANDLE could use a bit more polishing, but that didn`t hinder my work. Overall, i highly recommend this tool to any engraving enthusiast out there!
