Last week I was givin two Beretta stainless over and under shotguns to engrave for a company.
The first one engraved OK I had to sharpen quite often but I was able to do the lettering.
The next one was a little harder , I 'am having a very hard time keeping a point on the graver.

I'am using the glensteel from GRS 120 degree.

What other graver should I be using for this job?

Thanks for the help.

You could try CMax which is a new type of carbide from GRS which really seems to hold up well provided you polish the heel and face. Some of those stainless steels are horendous to work on though. Good luck!
