    Dear Julie It sounds like you need to temper the tip of your graver:
    I had the same experience once when I started and found out that the
    blade was simply to much hardened and therefore too brittle. If you
    ask your supplier they should be able to tell you to which degree it
    should be tempered. Good luck with the setting. Niels Lovschal
