Wow there are beautiful. Im 15 years old and have been making minature knives out of 16 Commons (nails). No where close to the quality of yours though. Using Alan Wrenches is brilliant! Nails are mild steel and mine wont hold an edge but Alan wrenches are tool steel right? I could send you the pictures of what I have made if you like but they're embarrassingly subpar to yours. To date ive made three swords (all awful i made them when I was younger) two knives (nails), one cleaver (hot rolled welding stock), two axes, one fireman and one standard (also hot rolled welding stock). I was looking for inspiration for the next tool/knife i made when i stumbled across this. Excellent work!
