    Marco, I have been engraving for 25 years. I can't say that I have
    ever seen a bent onglette graver though I agree that it would be a
    handy item. I prefer a square graver with a heel cut at the corner to
    10 degrees. If I want fine lines I narrow the corner to a finer
    point. I also break the point less on this than the onglette. Try Jet
    set for holding items instead of the pins that come with your
    engraving block. It is wonderful stuff and you don't have to worry
    about clearing any pins or scatching and denting the item you are
    holding.
