Nope

Okay, here's a hint: there are many kinds of these special nibs, varying in size. And here's yet another hint: the tip is diamond-coated.

Oh man..... it's a Glass Cutter

Athene · 04 Mar 2011

Nearly there! Cutting is too strong...

boogieboy · 04 Mar 2011

it's for polishing diamond cuts or buffing edges

Athene · 04 Mar 2011

No, not for polishing or buffing edges...come on, you've nearly got it...

Yes! This part is correct! Just one more part is missing...Why draw lines on glass? Or rather: what is this technique/activity called? ;-)

Glass engraving tool?

boogieboy · 04 Mar 2011

Glass Crafter?

Athene · 04 Mar 2011

YES!!!

Dwarf was faster, but yes, both of you are right: it's a glass engraving tool. I engrave water glasses every now and then with designs. It's a bit unpleasant on the ears (scratching squeaky sounds) and there's glass dust everywhere...but it's great fun

So...Dwarf, it's your turn again :-D And happy birthday again, boogieboy
