Just beautiful curvalinear lines on those toothpicks you are making. Reminds me of a gazelle. :thumbup:
 
Had to be my lighting, it actually looks a brighter green than on the post similar to the last 4' Jack I put green linen on.

Looks nice and light weight too. Thats mine. I'll take it Ken.
You know I normally have never given much more than a passing glance to toothpicks. I love the lines of yours though. Its super looking but I can't put my finger on why I like yours so much and ignore the others??? Gotta have it though.

Got it earlier today Ken. Its in my pocket and has already been put to work where I used it to slice my daily golden delicious.

When I let my wife see it she picked up on what she felt was sharp edges left on the spine (thicker part of the blade behind the swedge). The white hone from my Sharpmaker knocked it right off to her satisfaction lickedy split though. I didn't notice it personally. I'm sure you didn't either. Must be those working mans calluses I guess so it took a woman to notice it. ;)

Oh, and in case you were wondering. My shawdow weighs in at 1.9 ounces. :thumbup:

I love it! Its safe to say it won't look like the pics for long even though they hardly do this one justice. Thanks again. EDIT to add: Feedback sent through the itrader and for anyone wondering. This is one of few knives I've bought in recent years whether production or custom that I did not feel the need to sharpen to my satisfaction after recieving it. This thing went from package to pocket just like that and is a keeper that will be used!
