I've recently gotten interested (again) in hook and ring style tools. Used to have a OneWay Termite, but sold it - clogged too much on me. I just got the 1" Sorby ring tool, and have only used it to get to know it 2 times; so far, I like it - we'll see how it is to sharpen, haha. These photos are hook tools; some only flattened out, some shaped. They just need to be tempered and honed, then tried out. I used Masonry Nails, as per the suggestion (and design) of the fellow at AroundtheWoods.com. Great site, check it out if you haven't! Mike
