I have a lot of tools. But when I contemplated how many of them might qualify as being beautiful, it was tough to come up with many. Most of them are utilitarian items. Which could be considered beautiful in and of itself I guess. But aesthetically beautiful? These came to mind. I've had these old gravers for decades. I don't do metal engraving. I just like them because they are beautiful tools. Brazilian rosewood handles with german silver collars, which hold the gravers in place.
