Very nice Josh as I just lurve these 12s...
Very pocket easy, and a great fit in hand.
Hope you guys like them as much as I do!!
My carry ‘19 toothpick in pony cut, and a couple of powderhorn ‘11s, a golden rod and Brazillian cherry.

Nice group there. The Brazilian Cherry really looks nice on that pattern.

MrsR&T loves it so much she threatened to not make dinner so she could keep holding it!

This deserves a bump

Also perhaps an appeal to just make this a toothpick/powderhorn appreciation thread?

The little one looks like it could fit in any of the others' pockets!

A real "knife's knife!"

Not sure how it happened. I went from very lukewarm about the Toothpick pattern to kind of obsessed this year.

I’m still looking for the teal bone 2019 and several from the 2009-2011 GEC run, but I’m pretty happy about where I am for the 12 pattern for now. It’s really the only pattern I’m kind of obsessed over getting all of them I want.

Anyway, here are my current 10 GEC- made 12 patterns. I think I’ll be happy getting to a “Bakers Dozen” of 13.

Here are some longer toothpicks as well.
Case Bose Collab, older Case XX, Winchester Black Box, and an older Queen.

I lucked into a #12 stag in mrknife Jack's box o knives GAW recently and it has turned out to be more than I could have hoped for. Although 4" closed it feels smaller and the narrow clip is an excellent all around blade and of course it exhibits GEC's quality

 

[TheIncredibleHoke]

Finished the 2019 run, and now focusing on the 2009-2011 run,

Have about six of them from the older run, but they don‘t come up for sale very often. Will post a complete GEC-made 12 grouping in the next few days.

Updated GEC-made Toothpick Family Photo


Still need two of the Cripple Creek versions from 2010, and just a few more from the 2009-2011 period. Not really chasing any more of the NW, except maybe the camel bone.

The group of four at the bottom are the two-bladed Powderhorn 12s. They are definitely chunkier, but have their own charm.

 

[TheIncredibleHoke]

Ten large toothpicks. Like the Case version from 1964-69 so much I had to double up on it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Keen Kutter toothpick. Very nice!

 

[TheIncredibleHoke]

Updated family photo! Am closing in on my GEC made goal and just need a handful more. Really hoping for the blue jigged bone, the two Beavers, the acrylic Tango, and the stag Cripple Creek from 2010.

Then I can relax!

Very nice collection! There are a lot of gems there. I love seeing a labor of love come together like this.

That one on the far right, bottom row, second in - is that the Case Bose version? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Been thinking about scooping one up.

Ha, I hope to never part with these. It’s by far my favorite pattern. It is sometimes vexing that there are so many of them!

Good eye, it’s the Case Bose bone stag old Dog. To be honest, I have mixed thoughts on it. It’s obviously super high quality Case Bose Collab quality with insane fit and finish, but it’s probably my least favorite large toothpick. I think it’s the blade steel or something. It just feels a bit too polished if you know what I mean.

I don’t think I would ever sell it, but I definitely prefer the old Case XX version.

I am excited to get a Toothpick. This one is 3 3/4. Covers are hippo.
