Description:

This Arkansas Toothpick isn’t just a knife—it’s a saga forged in fire, born from a massive Damascus billet that yielded three blades, with this being the crown jewel, customized to perfection after a client’s discerning eye demanded extra flair. The blade’s edge, honed to a wicked 60 Rockwell, slices through challenges like a hot knife through butter, while the softer spine ensures it can flex without snapping, ideal for a blade of this length. The oval handle, shaped for intuitive indexing, locks into your grip like it was custom-made for your hand, keeping the edge oriented.

The guard, pommel, and pommel nut, all hot-blued to fend off rust, add a dark, sophisticated sheen that screams “I mean business.” Every detail, from the squared shoulders (ground with obsessive precision using a high-carbon guide) to the threaded tang, showcases the relentless craftsmanship poured into this piece. 

Whether you’re a collector, a survivalist, or just someone who appreciates a damn fine blade, this Arkansas Toothpick is ready to steal the show. It’s not just a knife; it’s a story of fire, steel, and sheer stubbornness, waiting for its next chapter in your hands.
