Any Toothpick lovers?

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! 😲 :thumbsup::thumbsup:

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:

Only two pages of Toothpick aficionados?!
It's definitely one of my favorite patterns!
Gimme a few days, I'm reviving this subject!
 
I remember one day at a guns show, I had three different people wander up and ask, 'Got any Toothpicks?" Not a common occurrence. The first guy was looking for one of those old Sheffield Bowies that had a really distinctive clip. I'd heard Bowies referred to as Toothpicks before, usually by those guys who have ti use the word 'shrooms because they're so dammm cool. The second guy was normal; he was looking for the single blade horned shaped knives that are displayed here. The third guy got annoyed with me. I'm showing him knives like crazy, "No, toothpicks!" Finally he drags out a Swiss Army knife... Oh! Toothpicks!
