A Superior Tool

---

Taking a moment to wipe the sweat off your brow, you suddenly notice something glinting on the ground. Picking it up, you find it is an old, discarded pick head. Turning it over in your hands, you notice that despite a few chinks and dents, the pick retains a working point, and the surface of the metal, while lightly worn, has suffered little damage from the elements. Perhaps you should show this to someone with more experience in the ways of mining than you.

I'm sorry, I don't repair tools, but you can talk to... Oh, you found this? I knew the design looked rather outdated. Good workmanship, though, and fine steel to have withstood toil and weather like it has. That's one of the great things about steel, it withstands shock and holds an edge better than iron, by a long shot.
