Why tool sharpening is important

A well-sharpened graver is essential for precise and professional results – whether you are working with engraving or stone setting. A sharp, correctly ground graver:

• delivers smooth, clean cuts without scratching or damaging the surface
• increases precision in your details and lines
• reduces strain on wrists and fingers
• ensures better control and a more ergonomic workflow
• saves time, as you avoid correcting errors or applying excessive pressure

We always recommend prioritizing professional grinding systems to ensure consistent and reproducible results every time.

Types of tool sharpening equipment

At Aktiv Guld, you’ll find professional solutions for tool sharpening – both for those who prefer the classic manual method and those who want a motorized system with maximum precision.

For traditional hand sharpening, we offer the Arkansas stone, ideal for fine polishing and maintaining the sharp edges of your tools. It provides a unique feel and control that many professionals value, especially during the final finishing strokes.

For more intensive sharpening work, the motorized GraverHone system is the centerpiece of our range. GraverHone is a precise, reliable sharpening solution for professional workshops that demand full control over their graver maintenance. With variable speed, you can easily switch between coarse, fine, and polishing stages, and its powerful US-made motor ensures stable performance and long service life. The system delivers consistent, repeatable results every time and is compatible with both HSS and carbide gravers – an ideal choice for goldsmiths and engravers who do not compromise on precision.

GraverHone can be combined with the Apex 4-in-1 grinding system, a popular choice among both beginners and experienced professionals, as it offers full control over angles and geometry, making it easy to achieve professional, identical results every time.

Choosing the right tool sharpening system

When selecting sharpening equipment, consider:

• Workload: daily use requires a robust motorized system
• Experience level: the Arkansas stone requires skill to avoid unintended angles, while the GraverHone system is suitable for both new and experienced users seeking a stable and efficient motorized solution
• Detail level: complex engraving requires precise angles and reproducible sharpening
• Tool types: which gravers you use and how often you switch between them

At Aktiv Guld, you’ll find both complete packages and individual components to tailor your setup to your needs.
