Tungsten Carbide Etching Stylus

$11.00

Designed for precision drypoint engraving, this tungsten carbide etching tool features an exceptionally sharp point that glides effortlessly across a wide range of printmaking surfaces. The solid, well-balanced handle provides excellent control and responsiveness, making it feel more like drawing with a pencil than engraving with a traditional scribe.

Available with either a gold knurled handle or a silver hexagonal handle, both versions feature the same exceptionally sharp tungsten carbide point and comfortable weight. Choose the handle style that best suits your grip and drawing preference.

Why we love it at The Armarie Room:

This has become one of our most popular drypoint tools in the studio. The tungsten carbide point is incredibly sharp, while the weighted handle gives it a lovely balance that makes drawing into the plate feel smooth, controlled and effortless. It's also a favourite with our students, who appreciate how easily it engraves the plate.

Recommendations:

  • Suitable for drypoint engraving on a variety of printmaking surfaces.

  • Allow the sharp point to do the work—light, controlled pressure will produce the best results.

  • Store with the point protected to prevent accidental damage or injury.

Options Available:

  • Gold handle with knurled grip

  • Silver handle with hexagonal grip
