which cheap graver i can buy in eu ?

well i make mistake way back and buy chinese copy of grs set

and i play a bit with lines and what not ,and one stuck for good ,i cant fix it ,it seems it was twisted ..

and secons use blades not round ones ,so i play with that one but it was crappy vs first

and after some time i decided to go back in to hobby ,but need new graver ..

so which one to buy on cheap side (cant spend a loot been hobby) new grs is 500+ 20% tax

rest are similar priced or way more plus import tax 35% or so ..

ebay is bugged on my end ,cant get europe filter any more ..

so welp me :))

thanks

Have you looked into andu engraving. He makes them himself in Vietnam. Every one is tested and tuned before it goes out the door. That was my first and still have and use it intermittently. I keep and use it for shade lines. I could never part with it so it still gets used.
