Hold any tool, press F3 to step back and press F. He lifts it up to his face, turns it over twice and lets it back down, and you watch him do it. The pickaxe comes nearly half again closer and tips so you can read its cutting edge. The sledgehammer is held in both hands while he looks it over, because it has a second grip; a hatchet or a stone stays in one.
Every tool is held by its handle in third person now: both knives, the obsidian dagger, the sickle, the mallet and the shears used to be held up on the blade or the head. The stone axe is held in two hands, its blade faces forward, and the sledgehammer is a real one, its handle about half as thick as before and the whole tool shorter.
