The Tenable Knives ToothPik takes the precision and practicality of the traditional Japanese Kiridashi and scales it down into an exceptionally compact fixed blade. Measuring 5.68 inches overall and weighing just 1.58 ounces, the ToothPik is easy to carry while still providing the stability and control of a fixed-blade design. Its slim, needle-like profile gives it a distinctive appearance and makes it especially capable when accuracy matters.
The 3.04-inch 14C28N blade offers a balanced combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Its modified Kiridashi profile and flat grind create a precise cutting edge that's well suited for piercing, scoring, carving, trimming, and other detailed everyday tasks. The Blackwash finish gives the blade a rugged, subdued appearance that complements the all-black design while helping disguise the marks that naturally come with regular use.
The black Micarta handle keeps the ToothPik's appearance understated and purposeful. Micarta provides a durable, tactile grip, while the ergonomic three-finger design makes efficient use of the knife's compact proportions. Aggressive thumb jimping adds additional traction and control, helping the ToothPik feel secure and confident in hand despite its small footprint. It's a simple combination that prioritizes maneuverability and practical handling.
The fixed-blade construction keeps the ToothPik straightforward and dependable. There's no folding mechanism to operate, so the knife is ready to put to work whenever it's needed. Its lightweight 1.58-ounce construction also makes it easy to incorporate into an everyday carry setup without adding significant weight or bulk. Whether you're opening packages, working on detailed cuts, carving, or handling small jobs around the shop or campsite, the ToothPik offers a focused cutting tool that's easy to control.
For convenient carry, the ToothPik includes a molded Kydex sheath with a ball chain. The sheath provides secure protection for the Blackwash blade while offering a practical neck-carry option that keeps this compact fixed blade close at hand. Its small dimensions also make it easy to work into different carry arrangements depending on your needs.
Designed by Pinkerton Knives, the ToothPik follows a clear philosophy: make a knife compact enough to carry comfortably while preserving the grip, control, and functionality needed to get the job done. The Kiridashi-inspired profile, ergonomic handle, aggressive jimping, and lightweight construction all contribute to that goal.
With its Blackwash 14C28N blade and black Micarta handle, the ToothPik delivers a clean, rugged aesthetic while maintaining the precision-focused character that defines this compact fixed blade. It's small, capable, and purpose-driven without unnecessary bulk.
