The Tenable Knives ToothPik takes the time-tested practicality of the Japanese Kiridashi and condenses it into an exceptionally compact fixed blade. At 5.68 inches overall and weighing just 1.58 ounces, the ToothPik is easy to carry while providing the solid, dependable feel of a fixed-blade design. Its slim, needle-like profile gives this little knife a distinctive appearance and makes it especially well suited to precision cutting and detailed everyday tasks.
The 3.04-inch 14C28N blade offers a balanced combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its modified Kiridashi profile and flat grind create a precise cutting edge that's well suited for piercing, scoring, carving, trimming, and other jobs where control matters more than brute force. The Blackwash finish gives the blade a rugged, understated appearance while complementing the distinctive purple handle.
That purple Micarta handle gives the ToothPik plenty of personality while providing a comfortable and secure grip. The ergonomic three-finger design makes the most of the knife's compact dimensions, while aggressive thumb jimping adds traction exactly where you need it for controlled cutting. The result is a small fixed blade that feels purposeful in hand without taking up unnecessary space.
The ToothPik's compact design also makes it exceptionally versatile to carry. It comes with a molded Kydex sheath and ball chain, allowing it to be worn as a neck knife for quick access. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to forget you're carrying it until a precision cutting task comes along. The sheath keeps the blade protected and provides a practical way to keep this capable little tool close at hand.
Designed by Pinkerton Knives, the ToothPik reflects a straightforward philosophy of maximizing usefulness while minimizing unnecessary size. Its proportions make it easy to maneuver, and the fixed-blade construction eliminates the moving parts found on a folding knife. Whether you're working on detailed cutting chores, carving, opening packages, or handling everyday tasks around camp or the workshop, the ToothPik brings a focused approach to cutting performance.
With its Kiridashi-inspired blade, purple Micarta handle, Blackwash 14C28N steel, and compact Kydex carry system, the ToothPik is a practical addition to any EDC lineup. It's small enough for discreet carry, substantial enough to get real work done, and distinctive enough to stand out.
