Gary,

I have no idea of how long you want the gravers to be. You might look at die-sinker type gravers. For my own engraving the actual gravers are probably only 2-1/4" long, but I mount them into a 6" long by 3/8" diameter steel handles. The gravers are held in the handle by a small set screw. I can move the graver out as it wears down.

Brownells.
The glensteel gravers are 4" long. 3/32" square.
Don't know of any longer.
