Thank you Pottz!  So would you choose the brass ferrule or not?

Gotta go with the brass! Pimp it out!

Do you re-harden the tip?

Brass it is! I went through the heat treatment process. Annealed first, shaped, hardened, then tempered and final honed. It is wicked pointy sharp I'll tell ya! I went to carefully touch the tip and drew blood. I was really surprised 🙄

Lemme guess, It was already stuck on and you couldn't get it back off? 🤔

Sharp and stabby, what's not to love?

Cool use for those brass tubing ferrules, I hoard them!

Nicely done!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

SplinterGroup...I bonded the ferrules on just after your comment. I agree. They dress it up!
BTW...Those brass ferrules are actually plumbing brass compression sleeves. Dirt cheap and beautiful.

Yep, my household plumbing is dependent on those compression rings!

I even have copper ones just like it. It popped against the wood as well.
