You raise an interesting question (at least in my uninformed mind):
Is there an actual difference between palm push engraving and hammer & chisel?
It would seem that there should be some stylistic differences because they are such different methods, but I don't have enough knowledge to be able to say. Even if there don't have to be differences I'm thinking that some style conventions would have arisen due to the ease of doing X vs Y with the two methods.
