A bells-in-handle ankus is on my list to get. Also a long-hafted one. Eventually, and as budget permits.
I like the simple ones. I think learning to make one would be a nice introduction to blacksmithing. |

Also, just received, a small ankus. 504g. Shown next to the ringed ankus in the last batch for comparison. (The ringed one is a little above average for this kind, I think. 908g.) |

Is it terrible that I would use any one of those as fire place pokers?

Timo,
Now you absolutely need a herd of elephants. |

SAFER TO POKE A FIRE PLACE THAN TO POKE AN ELEPHANT.

Have found a nearly similar one like Timo. Same style, possibly same smith.
