These nails are of wrought iron, and their shape is similar to that of the cut clasp, but the wrought nails are sharper pointed (Figs. 453 and 454). They are used principally in the construction of common ledged doors, as they will readily clinch. They are very strong, and the shape of the head gives it a better hold than that of the cut clasp nail. Owing to the fibrous nature of the metal of which it is made it is much used where its projecting point is to be clinched on the reverse side of the piece of work.
