Hello
I have a shot at both riddles:

The first answer could be (your) Fingers:
They number less han a score and they are always found at hand (lousy
pun). I dont know about the parts mentioning Cold steel...

The second answer sounds like Writing/Alphabet or perhaps the name of
the first elven alphabet Tengwar or Quenya which of the two came first
eludes me at the moment.
