Those look like they wont break my hands as well.

I have wrapped my favorite carvers in clearsplint to make the handles carpel tunnel friendly.

The handle is very comfortable.

Thanks for the info, Kraver.

That's a decent price. I have been buying mine from Zoll Dental, $25.00 each.
Also, line has a nice handle / tip that I purchased at LMT, a bit more
expensive though.

I am trying to move away from my carvers that are super old and were overheated with the Bunsen burner, they are soft and sometimes I bend the tips.

I never carve with instruments I heat. Completely separate.
You can't maintain the proper cutting edges if you heat them.

Kraver....a brush similar to this is what I use to smooth out the wax up, soften it and blend it, to create a seamless margin, rather than a "ditch"

How should I be using this to create seamless margin?

I use a Yeti wax brush. Burnish downward from gingival margin. It'll soften out sharp ledges.
Last w/u I posted in waxup of the week I employed that just before final flame.

Like a chop at a 45 degree(stippling) or a stiff/soft brush down facial 45,90,135?

I am pretty sure I figured it out on my own, but can never hurt to hear it from the horses mouth.

Edit: I also sometimes ask questions like that for the lurkers benefit.

Brush strokes down from just above free gingival margin down wax. Not stipple. Think soft burnishing.
Here's my brush:

100% agree with what you are saying, these are the CDT required teeth.

Do you get to see the rubrics for the exam markings?
