I think that if you don't have a specific base tool in your inventory (e. g. pickaxe, axe, ...), the Blacksmith shall sell the base level of the missing tool for 500 Gold. That way we reduce the amount of "OH NO, I LOST MY TOOLS!!!" moments if we forgot the tools in a chest and that chest possibly getting deleted if outside the farm. I saw the post https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/a-simple-but-significant-change.30201/#post-132855 from half a year ago but was not sure if I could necropost there my suggestion.
