Just got mine and I'm also pretty impressed! The dagger is as sturdy as it is pretty. And I believe the steel is 1080, at least that's what the tag said. No complaints whatsoever here either. It's a good match for my 1917 Frontier Bowie... Cold Steel delivers, that's for "sure"!!!
This is the best and detailed made toothpick on the market...only Cold Steel is able to offer such a product in its best form.None of the other producters is so proud to offer such masterpiece made weapons as C.S...and with such classic and beautiful decoration typical for woods of Mississippi ,Arkansas etc...
The best made toothpick I have ever seen...the most beautiful of this weapons..absolutely leading decoration on the pommel and scabbard..in wikipedia is written...,,often made with rich decoration and symbols,, ...the only knifemaker who remembers these details is again and again...Cold Steel..congratulation👍
Great looking cold steel blade; I think they were made for killing. I really can't see another use for it. Maybe if you had a few they would make good tent stakes. Thanks for the video.
Haha thanks man. I agree it's definitely a weapon. I was reading that a lot of confederate soldiers carried Arkansas toothpicks into battle. Thanks for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Have a good day
To be real I'm probably just going to stick with this one. Unfortunatley i just dont have the funds for that. In a few years there are definitely some knives from svord I want to get my hands on. Especially their pig sticker and von tempsky bowie.
@@jacobreviewsthings what you've got is a lovely blade. I live in New Zealand where Svords are made, and their version of the tooth pick is quite pricey. Anyway enjoy that cold steel👍
@@daveyboy6985 thanks man, im definitely having to much fun with this knife lol. I never knew they were made in New Zealand, that's badass. Thanks for the recommendations, I hope you're having a good new year so far
These are derived from the short sword carried by knights being used to get under plate armour to stab armoured knights who were knocked from their horse in battle... . The Sykes fairburne knife is still used today as a fighting knife by the marines, it being a scaled down version of the or the knife above . Dagger is a better name for them rather than tooth pick . I have to say that one above at that price seems to be a good buy it seems well made and sturdy . Also the word 'Pardon" is associated with the knife dagger above . You will have to do ya research to know why .. 😉 ..
Thanks for commenting fellow Jacob. I'm in the same boat as you, I bought mine before the deal but hey I can't complain. I've still got a sick ass knife lol
Lucky, I was so annoyed that I could have gotten one for half the price if I'd been mote patient lol. Hopefully you like yours as much as I like mine. Thanks for commenting man
Fairburn-Sykes on steroids. Good for slashing as well as thrust. Almost a short sword. difficult to conceal carry. It needs a thumb guard to keep an opposition blade from sliding down and cutting your thumb off.
@@gianpalacio5635 i bought mine for 89$ during said sale. id send a screenshot but not sure how on here. major retailers dont know what they do half the time
Haha as an American the name sounds weird to me too. Apparently a European person was visiting the southern US in the 1800s and saw a man picking his teeth with one of these knives and he thought it was hilarious and the name stuck.
wow, Buddy ... what an awesome Toothpick. This might be interesting to folks who like knifes like Master Keatings Crossada Knife (the spearpoint one especially), like this czcams.com/video/pNpEpcxvwiE/video.html
Review? What kind of metal is it made from? What kind of grind is used on the edge? What country is it made in? What did you pay for it? What is the handle made of? How long is it in inches? Review the knife. Don’t twirl it in a circle and hack at an old 4x4.
Sorry you didnt like the video man. I'm here to give my personal thoughts on the knife not read a bunch of boring statistics off a spreadsheet that anyone can find just by visitingcold steels website. So if that's the information you're here for I suggest you do your own research. www.coldsteel.com/arkansas-toothpick/
Haha yeah ive thought about it. I will eventually. I'm not very good at sharpening so I need get some more practice first. This knife looks to good for me to mess up the edge and scratch it up
They were for combat. Back then they had muskets and muskets weren't dependable in combat. Knives were dependable and always worked.
They still do to this day too
Guns for show, knives for a pro
Don't reload a knife, Don't run out of ammo, and no rain fouling.... or misfires.
They made for combat today. Most of you men are using puppies for emotional support but everybody ain’t talking about back in the day.
Everything from cook prep to killing pigs.

Nice man, looks likes like the type of ridiculous thing I totally need in my life
It's definitely the kind of ridiculous thing you need in your life lol
That's one of the 2 things I was thinking. 1 that will never be used just a man toy. Next was damned I want one
Beautiful, as a history buff im definitely thinking about getting one of these myself

awesome please more videos of these knife chopping or throwing ....look these video over and over wish that also in my collection
I think the slang name for this knife is Pig Sticker
Haha I beleive it, this thing would end a pig real fast
@@jacobreviewsthings hey man thanks for replying , Cold steel Rocks , I love thier Machettes Thai and the 2 hand Latin .

It went back to $180 before I could get one. These are legal in Oklahoma.
Cool knife. When you twirl it, keep all fingers on the blade. Easy to disarm if you only use your thumb and forefinger.
it will make a great officers dagger
Love the look. It is cold steel. Wonder how much of a beating it can take.
Probably a pretty good one lol. It feels solid and the edge has stayed perfect since I got it.
Nice knife
That sword remember me Goblin Slayer anime.
Hell yes 🤘🏼
Check out the Arkansas toothpick made by Svord .
Made in New Zealand, it's a beast, and razor sharp.
This is a nice knife (dagger ) though.
To be real I'm probably just going to stick with this one. Unfortunatley i just dont have the funds for that. In a few years there are definitely some knives from svord I want to get my hands on. Especially their pig sticker and von tempsky bowie.

They got the socks and another one up there for 70 with free shipping right now
Sox?
..that's Davy Crockett's 'half horse, half alligator"...
I'm also a Jacob. I missed the deal as well but I'm not upset because this knife is awesome.
Thanks for commenting fellow Jacob. I'm in the same boat as you, I bought mine before the deal but hey I can't complain. I've still got a sick ass knife lol
Dunno what the hell I'd need it for but I need 1
...just orderd one from Cold Steel on sale now for 90 bux!!!
Lucky, I was so annoyed that I could have gotten one for half the price if I'd been mote patient lol. Hopefully you like yours as much as I like mine. Thanks for commenting man
Was it a black friday promo code? $90 seems more reasonable for mystery steel.
@@jacobreviewsthings Hey bro I cant get it anywhere for 90$. Where is the link please?
@@gianpalacio5635 it was on Cold steels website. The sale might be over at this point
ahh the sale is over now..
...or walking around 'downtown'...
Good looking piece ,but can you tell me what is the Tang Configuration ?
It definitely a formidable weapon ⚖️⚔️⚖️
It looks like a stick/rat tang. It's definitely not full tang
@@jacobreviewsthings Thank you 🤝
I ordered one as soon as I saw Lynn nearly decapitate a pig with one swipe!
Counts as a viking sword or perhaps Roman gladius.
Just got mine today 👍
Nice man, hope you like yours as much as I like mine
Was it $89?
No, I had to pay 124 dollars shipped.
@@iankelly3479
Ya, but that’s pretty good w shipping and all.
Very happy with the dagger and sheath. Very well made and looks antique, too.
Fairburn-Sykes on steroids. Good for slashing as well as thrust. Almost a short sword.
difficult to conceal carry. It needs a thumb guard to keep an opposition blade from sliding down and cutting your thumb off.
It will make a great go to knife if your guard dog is barking a warning at night, grab the dagger to confront the trespasser…
.. walking around in the woods......or downtown...
Some people would just try to take a piss on anything you know.
Why would you face the camera towards the sun?
I’m wearing my shtf all around town. IDGAF about it as long as it’s legal
FedEx delivered my a day ago...that's not a 'knife'...it's a short sword - an American Gladius and not a 'pig' sticker - it's a TWO PIG sticker!!!
Very Cool!! *If you care to Ill bet if y ou send the receipt to Cold Steel theyll credit y ou and you can buy more Sh*t
Yoooo that's actually a good idea. It's been a while since I bought it but it's worth a shot. Thanks for commenting man!
Hey bro where's the link for 89$?
Just Google Cold steel and click on there website, idk how long they're doing the sale so hopefully it's still going
sale ends today
@@fatman4792 Dang man. They told me that was a "mistake" and theyre not selling for 89$

Review?
What kind of metal is it made from?

Are you going to sharpen that on an Arkansas stone ?
Haha yeah ive thought about it. I will eventually. I'm not very good at sharpening so I need get some more practice first. This knife looks to good for me to mess up the edge and scratch it up
@@jacobreviewsthings I don't consider myself a good knife sharpener either but, on Thanksgiving I did a really good job on my neighbors chef knife.
I look at peole hiking with out a large knife weirdly.
Considering the materials and where they are made it's hard to justify cold steels prices especially these days. Decent looking though ...
