If the lines are left and have some feel to them, a 60 degree cutter is all you need to deepen the lines. Cutting the proper borders requires a separate concave cutting tool in combination with others. Proper border work on a Parker makes all the difference between just checkeing it and checkering it right.

However, heed others advice and proceed with caution if you are considering doing it yourself. Since you do not have tools, i take it you have little to no experience cutting or recutting checkering. Not that anyone cant do it, but some just cannot do it. Why try and find out when you can spend relatively short money and have the work done right.


If you insist on trying your hand, pick up a Gunline starter set in 16 lines per inch and spend some time scratching at some junk stocks before trying on something that you want to let out in public.
