TECHNIQUE® ASIC HANDLE Pear Short

Gain close-in palm support, ergonomic wrist posture, and responsive directional control for hand engraving and diamond setting. The TECHNIQUE® Short Pear Graver Handle (#18465) is manufactured in France by ASIC SA using sustainably harvested, PEFC-certified European beech hardwood. Designed with a classic Pear Short (poire courte) anatomical contour, the rounded bulbous base rests against the heel of the palm while the neck tapers smoothly toward the tool collar.

This ergonomic teardrop profile allows the artisan’s fingers to choke down close to the cutting edge, providing fine control when cutting tight curves, micro-lettering, and bright-cut borders on rings and watch components. Reinforced with a machined solid brass ferrule, the handle resists splitting and grain blowout when mounting traditional tang-style steel gravers.

Why Choose the TECHNIQUE® Short Pear Graver Handle

• Ergonomic Pear Short Silhouette: The natural bulbous crown nestles into the palm to distribute driving force across the hand, while the tapered waist provides a secure grip for the thumb and index finger.

• Close-to-Work Cutting Leverage: The compact pear design keeps the hand close to the bench pin or engraving ball vise, maximizing tactile sensitivity when executing delicate scrollwork or pavé bead raising.

• PEFC-Certified French Beech Hardwood: Turned from sustainably sourced French beech (Fagus sylvatica), offering natural shock dampening, resistance to denting, and a smooth tactile finish that resists splintering.

• Machined Solid Brass Ferrule: A heavy-duty brass ferrule encloses the mounting nose, reinforcing the wood against radial pressure and preventing splits when driving in tapered tool tangs.
