When you said toothpick I was thinking something long, thin and slender like a stiletto, not something that looks like a cross between a bowie knife and a short sword. What kind of balance does that thing have?

 

[shockbrain]

the balance is 2.5" from the guard

in the old days a Toothpickn referred to a bowie knife, not necessarily a two edged long dagger we think of today.

I love it. You should nonchalantly bring it out at dinner parties to carve the roast!

You take that thing out for a fight like that scene from Crocodile Dundee and anybody would split themselves.
