Small Texas Toothpick in stock
Its shape. The Texas Toothpick is a slim single-blade slip joint with a long clip blade and a narrow, tapering handle, 3 inches closed in the small size. We currently stock four, and the real differences between them are handle material, pattern number and, in one case, the steel.
A long clip blade in a narrow frame gives an unusually fine point for a traditional pocket knife, which is what the pattern is for: detail work, splinters, opening things precisely. It is a single-blade knife, unlike the multi-blade stockman.
All four we carry are 3 inches closed with nickel silver bolsters and are made in the USA.
Three are stainless on the 610096SS or 810096SS pattern: red jigged bone in a Pocket Worn finish, navy blue jigged bone with Tru-Sharp surgical steel, and an abalone-handled version with Case XX laser engraving on the cap bolster.
The fourth is genuinely different: a 310096CV on yellow synthetic scales with a chrome vanadium carbon steel blade. That is a non-stainless blade that will patina and needs oiling, which is a real ownership difference rather than a color choice.
If you want a user, the yellow chrome vanadium version takes a keener edge and asks for care in return. If you want a keepsake, the abalone piece is the display one.
Bone handles move slightly with humidity. See caring for bone and stag.
