Negative relief template with the Universal 116 degree point.
![]() Below photo is from one of the original patent drawings that is at the bottom of the sharpener instructions page. It shows this type of point well. http://www.engravingschool.com/priva...0Sharpener.htm ![]() Negative relief 116 Uniform-Parallel graver template.
This template is the same as the normal 116°, but the relief grind under the heel is negative. The purpose of this negative grind is to achieve more heel clearance. This additional relief was described in the Lindsay Uniform-Parallel patent, but this is the first template made available to actually achieve this point. This template requires that the height of the grinding lap or bench stone be 3/4" instead of the usual 1/2" seen in all previous templates. I recommend just shimming your 1/2" stones up the last 1/4". The plastic 6"x6" plate included with the full sharpening kit happens to be 1/4", so that can utilized. A power hone for initially shaping this is helpful. However it can be done with the diamond bench stones. Steve tested how long it would take him to sharpen one from a carbalt blank on the diamond bench stones. It was 15 minutes. Of course starting with a the 3 degree tapered carbalt blank would considerably shorten the time. $27.00 ![]()

Very interesting.
So, the 'Narrower' template has two holes, one for making the blank narrower with the sides parallel to the sides of the blank and one for doing them offset. Looks like you could use both of them on a blank to get a nice, narrow 90 degree traditional graver by just adding the face and heels. |

I don't think that would help, because Karla has imposed a rule in the shop that if the cat (Natti) jumps on your lap you are not allowed to disturb her. All work stops until she is off your lap and finished purring or napping.

Why? Did you "accidentally" drop a sharp pointed object on the cat while it was in your lap last during the last week/month?

Thanks Paolo and Will for taking the good pics!
![]() The holder isn't available yet. There were several versions in the patent application of it, so I am on samples of another to see which is preferred. Shouldn't be long.

can the negative relief template be used on a 90 degree blank, or just the 116 ?
btw-- the cat needs a new name-- nappy, or even catnappy. |

Hi Monk, So far the negative relief is for the universal. You're right Catnappy would match her well! hehe

I just received the Negative Universal template from Steve and I sharpened my first graver with it. So far so good! It seems obvious to me especially on small letters such as an "s" that the heel drag is pretty much eliminated. I will admit that sharpening seemed a lot different and a bit harder than the usual way but I will probably get used to that. The 1/4" shim that Steve sent works just fine. I was hoping that maybe others have also tried it out and can share any tips or tricks they have learned with it and what they might see as the pros and cons of using this negative template? Steve? Thanks!
