Burnishers are a incredibly versatile tool that can be used for numerous techniques. It is used for creating shine, contrast to matte finishes by highlighting edges especially of pierced work and to work harden metal wire, brooch pins or earing hooks. In engraving, a curved burnisher is used to burnish over slips of the graver by pushing a small amount of metal into the Scratch, so disguising the error.
