Stolen gravers

[LEbySteph]

Hello everyone,

My name is Stephany, not a new member but I’ve never posted anything. I’ve been an engraver for about 14 years now. A few months ago my gravers were stolen in a fedex shipment. Right now I’m just having to start over again but I wanted to know if any gravers have come on the market and where I should look. I mostly use bent line gravers because I do a lot of lettering work. But I have a number brand new knife, burin, and and straight line gravers that were taken too. Really still very saddened by the loss of my tools which have traveled the world with me and helped me to accomplish so much. As a minority in the field these tools meant the world to me. Now that I’m starting over I still plan on buying some new ones but I’m also keeping my eye out for the ones that belonged to me. Any recommendations for where to look for used ones (other than eBay) would be great. Thanks for your time and I hope everyone here is healthy and safe as we battle through this. I’ve up loaded some pics of my babies just in case they are spotted online. Thanks again!

Stephany, I just love the way you organize your gravers. I wish I could be that organized. My bench looks like a tornado passed over it.

I have a load of new and used tools I've collected over the years. Where are you located?

I don't know if Allen was suggesting he would donate a few old gravers but if that is the case. I also have a large selection of things I have come across over the years also. I could be good for a few. then again maybe I'm just a grumpy old man lol

Thanks. It's been really heartbreaking. They've travelled the world with me and there are a lot of memories and love for them.
