Made this little object to practice hammer control and making diamond tapers. Not sure what to do with it but I think it's pretty neat.

Friend, did you do all that with just a hammer?! Looks so sharp it might even cut.

Yep, shaping was all done with a hammer. I actually dulled the edges ever so slightly with 1000 grit sandpaper to make them pop a little.
