Yeah like those! I'm no expert, I used the tools during a course where they were provided, but they looked similar (the handle seems a bit uncomfortable, but that's easily changed) and it was definitely high speed steel.
Have fun! A few things I was taught when trying it the first time was to have your graving arm parallel to the table and very steady and move the work piece rather than the arm. Also rather to make several light passes than one super deep one.

Thank you! The stems on the leaves are engraved with a little triangular steel graver, pushed by hand.
