Transfer palm thrust smoothly and guide engraving lines with precision using the authentic TECHNIQUE® ASIC Ball Graver Handle (#18450). Manufactured by Swiss jewelry tooling specialist ASIC SA, this classic round ball handle is turned from fine French PEFC-certified beech wood and fitted with a reinforced brass ferrule. The spherical 40mm shape fits naturally into the palm, allowing goldsmiths, hand engravers, and diamond setters to apply uniform forward pressure while pivoting gravers and beading tools effortlessly.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Spherical Ball Ergonomics (Ø40mm): The contoured round profile nests comfortably in the hollow of the hand, providing balanced force distribution and reducing wrist fatigue during prolonged micro-engraving and pave setting.
-
PEFC-Certified French Beech Wood: Turned from dense, close-grained French beech wood with a smooth, natural finish that resists sweat, surface abrasion, and cracking.
-
Reinforced Brass Ferrule: Equipped with a solid brass collar that reinforces the socket mouth against splitting when tang-mounting steel gravers, scorpers, or millgrain tools.
-
Versatile Tool Compatibility: Accommodates standard jewelry hand gravers (onglette, flat, round, knife), scrapers, bezel pushers, and woodcut printmaking blades.
-
Precise Angle Manipulation: The ball-shaped head facilitates low-angle cuts and fluid rotation inside the palm without catching on the bench peg.
How It Solves Your Daily Work Challenges
-
Eliminates Localized Palm Pain: Replaces narrow cylindrical handles that cause pressure points, spreading cutting forces evenly across the palm heel.
-
Prevents Handle Splitting Under Heavy Thrust: The durable brass collar absorbs lateral forces when driving wide flat gravers or seating deep square tangs.
-
Improves Cutting Line Consistency: The spherical dome enables smooth rotational adjustments without having to release and re-grip the handle.
