I only wish the same variety was available over here. Unfortunately eBay took fright about the potential for legislation here in the uk, and stopped listing knives altogether.
My favourite size Toothpick and legal to carry in UK. By the way Tobias I carried the Queen Wharncliffe today and sizewise its good in the pocket, the firm I buy knives off don't carry Frost bit of a shame like the look of that Toothpick, not got any abalone knives Heinnie Haynes have the small Rough Rider Toothpicks but only ever seen one four inch and they couldn't find a decent one to send me, I had seen so many bad reviews so after ordering one I emailed and asked them to check quality before sending, they emailed back no good ones in stock, managed to buy GEC from USA company at a good price so very happy about that. Cheers my friend.
I think the mediums are my favorite size toothpicks. No particular reason, I just really like 4 inch traditional patterns. This one is a nice looking knife, buddy. Thanks for showing it off!
For the money surely not a bad knife. The abalone looks nice with the deep colouring. The shield looks so much better then some other brands shields. Very nice knife for detailed work. I also like the fishing knives with a scaling blade added. But it is indeed a medium knife. Thank you for showing Tobias.
Not a bad looking knife, if you want to polish it, try using toothpaste as it is less harsh than say a metal polish. I use toothpaste on my wife's Amber jewellery to clean and brighten it. The Family crest is a common one for the Frost family.
I had a not so good experience with the first Toothpick I bought a long time in the past. Not knowing much about them; I never bought another until seeing you are a great fan of the pattern. The toothpick is an American pattern; however it seems to be a version of an older pattern that looks more like a Laguiole style knife. The Pattern is also much like knives made in Spain as well. The Navaja is one that dates back to the Roman times which is Latin for Razor. That makes it a very historic folding knife if you think about it. This style of knife came to America likely from Spain first. The American Toothpick is a Picnic Knife you might say. The long blade makes it able to cut bread, cheese, and large sizes of sausage and preserver meats and vegetables. Picture a Roman legionnaire cook using one for preparing food for Caesar during his conquest of conquering the World. It is easy to see that many knife blade shapes are related to this original knife; just given different names. The Toothpick is a better food preparing knife than a weapon; it just looks menacing to people that don’t know why it looks like it does. Imitations doesn’t make something cheaper looking; it just is tells you it is not to be taken for what you think it might be. Sometimes the look of imitations is better than the real thing. Ask any customer of a good Plastic Surgeon; if you get my gist.
I’ve got a video that talks about a lot of this. You are correct. It’s also essentially a folding bird and trout knife. The knife is much more versatile than many people think!
Not bad. My favorite size for a toothpick is medium. Like the GEC #12. The tiny toothpick is fine for cleaning areas hard to reach. The large toothpick, I rarely carry, or use.
I just bought one of these, and it is beautifully, and wonderfully executed - much better than than the Rough Ryder Classic Carbon Medium Toothpick, the last 4” medium toothpick to be offered by Rough Ryder. No gaps, smooth transitions, even grind, and centered blade! I couldn’t be happier! Almost afraid to use it (but I’m a user and not a collector). Thank you for recommending this one, Tobias.
Nice toothpick! Like you think 3", 4", 5" would be a better jump in size. Kind of like Case 3", 4.35" and 5". Granted they don't make many 5" toothpicks anymore. Years ago SMKW had a sfo two bladed large toothpick. Both blades were the long California Clips, I bought 2 one to carry and one to keep new in box. I wish Case would bring back the larger toothpick!
Very cool looking knife from Frost and with a 3" blade length I can legally carry it which is always a concern when toting a 5" knife. I like the longer toothpicks, barlows, hunters, etc but they are harder to edc (meaning hidden in a pocket or in a belt sheath) and are illegal here unless I can "prove" a specific purpose. So the 4" is really beginning to appeal to me. Like you I picked up a 4" toothpick from GEC last year, also a carbon classic, a 3.5" CRKT from 10 years ago and a one-hand opening 4" Frostwood Toothpick with thumbstud. Tobias, would you consider showing us your Frostwood knives? I remember seeing a canoe and a BSA barlow (by Bear) and the toothpick and was wondering if you have others that you might do a quick look at sometime? Thanks for posting.
Great looking knife. Enjoyed the video. Recently received a new Frost Crowing Rooster brand large stockman in abalone, and the shield was rattling around in the box lol.😆
Yeah, I’ve mentioned more than once that Frost does a lousy job attaching Shields. Once the chewing gum dries up the fall right off! That is my most common issue with Frost brand knives. I don’t care if it is out of Pakistan or a Hen&Rooster out of Germany. You have a 50/50 chance of losing the shield within a year!
Yup, I’m seeing the same in regards to what people refer to as “Large”. I’m seeing it on EBay with other knives. They refer to a 4 inch knife as a large. To me, 4.5 inches to 6 would qualify as a large, but that’s just me, I’m from Texas :) Anything bigger than 6 inches would be Texas size:)
Very interesting. Guess you would have to request the size of the knife closed to know what you are getting. It would be nice if there was a standard. Seems like there used to be but that seems to be fading away. Good looking knife though.
@@KnifeChatswithTobias Tobias, I'm sorry, I meant my question to be rhetorical, an attempt to be funny. I guess it didn't land. I'll shut up and go away now.
I love those little stickers Frost puts on the blade. Point Blade This Way and Warning Blade May Be Sharp.

I’ve always liked the looks of the toothpick knives.
But it seems the only ones I’ve ever bought were ‘Arkansas toothpicks’
😉

They said this one is large but it is only 4 inches. Same length as the GEC but slimmer.
Heck of a great price for such a nice looking knife, I dig it! 👍
absolutely love the profile of the blade on this toothpick compared to most other 4 or 5 inch ones
I just bought one of these, and it is beautifully, and wonderfully executed - much better than than the Rough Ryder Classic Carbon Medium Toothpick, the last 4” medium toothpick to be offered by Rough Ryder.

The Rough Ryder is nice but I have to agree with you. Not all Frost knives are deserving of the negativity the brands get.
I've always like the austetics of the toothpick
Another good knife review Tobias , and full of information as always , i always enjoy the slide show too . Thanks again .
My Rough Ryder High Plains is 5" closed as is my Large Lady Leg with what looks like the same blade.. The latter is hard to find though.
I have that fishing knife for my childhood from dad!
That’s a pretty cool memory to have.

They called this one a large but it is a medium (4 inches with a 3 inch blade.

I have a ocean wave blue frost trapper. I like it. I wish it had a half stop. I like that one. That handle is really pretty.
Some older RRs on sale at shop closing down. Blade Matrix. Might check it out. I ordered way too much. Can’t wait.

Looks like a decent knife. Do you leave the stickers on Frost knives if you don't intend to be using them?
I almost always remove them. I worry about them staining the blade.
Great video and an interesting knife. Have you any experience with the Case cheetah style knives. I've been considering picking one up.
OK. What do you call my Winchester WN19102C 5 1/2" toothpick? A Large Jumbo? It's 9 3/4" open. Lol. Thanks for the excellent video review.
I called it a large toothpick. This is a medium toothpick
