Is it that there aren't many decorative tools, or is it just that people overlook them because the weapons are 'cooler'?
Ancient Egyptians made beautiful cosmetic palettes, the Greeks and Romans made beautiful pottery - examples of highly decorative tools are everywhere, including in museums, but they don't get highlighted as often because most people would rather see ornately carved swords and shields.
