Considering style, two identical items in saltire is fine on its own,
though there may be problems based on other elements of the armory.
Furthermore, as I mentioned in a reply yesterday, period tools are
registerable, and spoons are period, though they should be depicted in
a period form.

SENA has conflict rules under A.5.  In the proposed design with an
animal and overall tools in saltire, the animal is the primary charge
and the tools are overall charges.  In the two designs above, the
tools are primary.  SENA gives a lot of difference for primary
charges, so the two designs can immediately be seen to be clear by
addition or removal of primary charges, or demotion of the tools to
being overall, or whatnot.  (Sorry, in a rush agan and can't explan
that further.)
