@Opdiu, I’m assuming it isn’t Zote because the person bringing the nails has already had one nail sharpened (Nailsmith, “Have you brought me another nail to be honed?”). Zote’s nail used in the Colosseum is made of shellwood, which means that it isn’t sharpened, as the Nailsmith wouldn’t sharpen a nail and have it still do no damage. As for the breathing jab, it’s possible that the person bringing the nails goes to really dangerous places with lots of monsters, so the person might’ve been constantly at risk, and also constantly breaking and/or dulling nails while fighting, which also explains why the person requires enough nail sharpenings to annoy the Nailsmith (more than four sharpenings, because the Nailsmith doesn’t get annoyed at the Knight after having their nail sharpened). It also can’t be multiple people, because the Nailsmith notices the difference between the Knight and the mystery person.

The bottom line is, the person who often gets their nail sharpened isn’t Zote, but it was a cool theory!
