Is it possible to get by without using a square graver?
I hate sharpening these things or at least the heels by hand.
I did a test and found that i can get far better results using a combo of onglette and flat shaped gravers.
Probably because i have used these daily for years.
Given the time i take to get a square graver ready i could have done the job twice using other "weapons".
Is it a big no no or a case of whatever so long as the final result is great??
