Default Lost in da woods

Hi all,
I have been a member of this forum for a while, but have not posted on it. My one try at engraving was on the tsuba I made for a tanto. I made it from 1/4 X 1 brass stock using a grave that I picked up at a flea market.
I read somewhere that the grave needs an angle ground on the end of it before you can cut metal with it. I have no way of doing this. Any suggestions.

I make knives and carve the deer antler I use for the handles. If I've done this right there is a photo of one of my handles attached.
I want to do this kind of thing, maybe in a shallow relief, on metal.
H E L P !
