Replacement Toothpick for a Swiss Army Knife

Every one knows of the classic Swiss army knife and almost everyone has owned one at one point in there life. I picked this small victorinox up at a thrift store for 25 cents, sadly the tooth pick was gone, and so I made up my mind to make a new one! And so here is how I did it ,ll hand tools and its fairly simple. Hope you like it!

Your going to need a knife you could use the Swiss army knife easily. But I love my little single bevel neck knife, its great for small jobs and every day carry. If any one wants a knife like this I make them and your more then welcome to buy one from me! the one I used in this post is for sale.

For the tooth pick I used a small chunk of white oak. You could use Hickory or Osage. just be sure to use a hard wood.

Now take you knife and split off a good sized sliver of the wood. To do this go with the grain of the wood and push down with your blade. you should end up with a wood chip basically.

Start trimming down your wood chip in till you end up with a small rectangle. Its all pretty self explainable just be sure to keep fitting it in the knife so you get the size right.

Just be sure that it fits in flush with everything so it looks like its meant to be there. you don't want a big square sticking out of the knife! And you have your self a brand new tooth pick for your swiss army knife! really simple I have not seen any one post anything on it before so I thought I would. I would love to hear what you think!
