I used steel 5mm and 8mm

and brass 5mm

I turned it slightly  to fit well in my hand

(to turn the steel it must be longer, use the vice(clamp)

if if thick enough temper before)

I grinded to have one edge flat for one tool,

 rounded and pointed for the others.

For handle you can use wood or rubber.

15-16cm long (with the handle, 5-7cm the metal)) is good enough)

Also a S shape tool is convenient because you have two tools

in one, but don't make it too long as mine (21cm)
