A hand held engraver, comprising:
- a body having a linear shape, a longitudinal center axis, a first end, and a second end,
- said body having a mushroom shaped handle located at said second end to fit in the palm of a human hand,
- said mushroom shaped handle having a mushroom center axis substantially parallel to said longitudinal center axis,
- a graver having a linear shaped shank with a single point at one end,
- an angled graver hole having a center axis located at said first end for supporting said graver,
- said longitudinal center axis and said center axis are at an angle relative to each other,
- at the location of said angled graver hole said longitudinal center axis continues sustainability straight and does not angle,
- a removable nose insert at said first end having said angled graver hole within said removable nose insert,
- said removable nose insert is removable and installable into a recess in said first end of said body,
- said removable nose insert having a radial outer surface,
- said radial outer surface is configured to index said removable nose insert within said recess in at least one location,
