Any Toothpick lovers?

Thank you!

A bunch of GEC's in tubes and one of those S&M Grandaddy worm grooves pictured above. The S&M came with uneven grinds and off-center blade. I reprofiled it with sandpaper use it for a steak knife.

Had one of my students show me a Texas toothpick his father had gotten him last week. He was super proud of that knife!! He knows I make knives and asked if I’d ever made one like his and I told him I hadn’t…after being snowed in at home the past 4 days, I have NOW made one!ha Cpm154 and some mammoth ivory, going in the box for Blade Show Texas in March

The toothpick you just made looks outstanding!

I like the pattern but my personal preference is for 2-bladed toothpicks with a big clip and some other blade.

I have a couple of the "fish knife" type with clip and scaler blades (and bottle opener).
Rough Rider that's stainless, 5" closed, and whose "scaler blade" is more like a fully serrated melon/sausage tester with a ruler along the spine (thanks, Mark):

Providence Cutlery fish knife that's 4" closed IIRC and has carbon steel blades:

My favorite toothpick patterns are a couple of Imperials with clip/pen blade combos and a Buck with clip/spey combo:

- GT
