Since amertrac showed his small ball peen hammer, and Stoney showed us his tiny little Cobblers hammer, I thought I would show off my smallest struck tool, a punch!
As you can see, he isn't real big, but this little guy has a spirit all his own.
I keep him in the house, away from all the other, bigger boys. I just don't think they would play well with him!!!
The handle treatment is as purchased. I actually wanted the punch to begin with, but have grown to love the tool as a whole!!

Great tool, awesome handle treatment.

Here is my desktop anvil and hammer. The anvil flips over and has a very useful forming block on the bottom. The bottom of the tape is 2 inches. A friend gave me some souvenir mini baseball bats. I used one for the handle one the little ball peen. The shape is a work in progress, but even when it is all done, it won't hold a candle to keykeeper's. That is pretty!

That's beyond cool Keykeeper. It's beautiful and I would not change the handle either. It's so beautiful I would keep it in the house too.

KeyKeeper you have me beat by 1/4 of an inch by size and by a country mile in quality.

The punch is my smallest at 4 1/2 inch and the straight chisel is 6 inches. Both need new handles.

I have a slitting chisel that is pretty small also, Stoney. I'll try to post a picture or two.
