E.C.Lyons Scrapers- 2.5″
Made with high carbon tool steel & have a triangular shape with three very sharp edges. They are used to slice off or scrape away the plate surface. Also used for image making and corrections. Available in a number of different sizes and styles ranging from wood handled single end scrapers to solid steel combination scraper & burnisher.
When metal plates are engraved for intaglio printmaking, small ridges of cut-away metal called ‘burrs’ will be left either side of each linear incision. This scraper has a triangular blade, and is designed to be used during intaglio printmaking processes, to scrape away burrs thrown up during the engraving process without damaging the plate. Its sharp face can also be used to scrape and lower the plate surface.
It has a wooden handle, and is made of high carbon steel.
