Made these little guys today. Only been smithing for about a couple months. Decide to try to make some stuff for Christmas presents for family and coworkers. The first one was quite a challenge trying to get the circumference right to fit the jar neck tight. And seeing that for an anvil all I have is a massive 50 lb chunk of I-beam I think they came out pretty well. Still need to clean them up some and apply a finish.

Thanks everyone. It's hard to tell in the pics but I did texture the handle with a ball pein hammer. I was going to try the scrolls on the ends but decided on these to leave them off. Next ones I do will have them. The spring action is actually what I had trouble with at first. One minute it's was to tight to fit on jar, the next it was not enough to hold securely. Def learned a lot. Thanks again for the comments.
