@ Gra_Farmer - pass on a nice supportive hug to your bride and my sincere condolences!😢.  Loosing a parent is a rough spot in the road, thank you for your efforts to smooth that series of bumps for her and the kids.

@ MTSAK - In my house back in the day, that would heard or smelled by awl and a HARTY INVITATION to get back up and enjoy the party.
Today even if I hide such sweats, when I get a hankering for niibble, no problem I live alone… NOPE, take the bag from my hiding spot, and WHAT?  It’s been open!  I did do that, inspect and find ONE! only ONE piece…  🙃 really

Yadda. I have been looking at your posts you have collected a lot of cool rusty stuff. I too collect old tools mainly hammers, Hatchets, and floor installation tools. I live with chronic pain you can find me in my shop regrinding and polishing old tools any time day or night. This week I picked up a beat-up Case with a broken tip, Imperial boy scout knife, a nice blue Frammer, and three Opinels one with a broken tip for 30.00. I also bought 20oz Eswing rip hammer for 3.00. I reground the tips and ground the edge on the Case and the Opinel. With a few licks on a diamond plate, they were razor-sharp and very nice to work with.

Happy hunting,
Mike

   Something needed prying, so I reached for the closest thing.  A 58mm.  I used the SD tip to pry some and nothing moved, so naturally I put more pressure on it.  I did stop before I broke the thing, and went for another tool. 
   Then I wondered.  Did I bend the tip?  I looked.  Maybe a little?  The file still closed (Green 58mm in photo).  I forgot about it.  Then I decided to compare it with another 58mm.  I help both up together.  Hmmm?  Might be just the least perceptible bend.  I rearranged them a time or two and squinted at them.  Yes, I think one might be barely bent.  Then I saw I was looking at the blue Classic, thinking it was the green one. 
    So much for imagination.  Best wishes.  G
