You using the nail for your final pass in sharpening?  That's what I've been doing lately and it has been working great...

     Very clever recycling 8).....I'm shocked!  Are those styles......current?  Can you alternate?  Are you well grounded in  knapping?......are you on the knapping circuit?......before you knapp, do you meditate, and repeat the mantra ......Ohmmmmm ?..... ::) ::)  Way to think outside the box......fuse box that is......maybe there is enough nasty stuff left in them to grow a sixth finger to help hold the rock..... ;)  Ok, Ok, Ok,  :P
But none the less that is a good idea.  8)  I actually do like them, and your antler flakers, and boppers. ;)

well some have a type of oil junk in them, these i dont think they had that oil stuff because they are  threaded on the end to replace the inside of it
