    Good to see someone use the knife that's being talked about used for more than slicing copy paper, and used for other tasks.
    Good on you 👍😁

    I would love it if you would put the Rough Ryder "Toad sticker/ Mellon tester" White smooth bone, through a test to see how well it will cut up Papaya and cantaloup and other fruit. Smokey Mt. Calls it a TOAD STICKER, Chicago Knife works calls it a Melon tester. No one on you tube is reviewing how well it performs. YOU are definitely the man to make it happen. Love the small Tooth pick. Great Video, Thank you.

    Hahaha... I've never seen anyone baton with a TOOTHPICK before!! 😲🤯
    It may have started just as a funny video, but that little knife definitely proved itself, especially with the can opening! It did way better than I expected.
    Fun video!👍🤠

    It took fifty years after canned food was invented for someone to invent a mechanical can opener. Before then they either used a knife or a non-electric can opener

    LOL, I'm surprised that toothpick didn't die of sugar diabetes cutting into that Mountain Dew. The toothpick is fully practical as a gentleman's knife, which is what it's design was meant for. Light to medium cutting tasks. Sometimes I carry a Case Medium Toothpick in black micarta.

    I’ve used them and found them to be very capable. To be honest I figured the can opening would kill it.
    I also cut up a rubber hose
    Yeah sure, these knives a junk!
    Anything but silly. A testament to a well made knife. That was a heck of a lot of abuse!

    • @MrBarlow

      a couple of years ago. I regret that now 😑

      @@MrBarlow, I don't have many in the three inch size (perhaps a dozen or so.) but I too was surprised at how well they perform. I like all sizes but prefer the large ones!

    Holy moly, I am impressed, especially since you batonned the blade and not the spine. The small toothpick is one of my favorite patterns. Thanks for the video, really fun.

    I have the exact same toothpick, same colour, everything. And it is useless... It had no edge when it came and for the life of me I cannot get it sharp. I think the heat treat must have been horrible or something cause I have no problem sharpening or reprofiling other knives. Bummer.

      I've had a Hammer brand toothpick for 70 years. Yes it is loose and worn and retired but still can perform. It has been replaced by a newer brand not in this video.

    Couple rubber mallot taps at the pivot bolster will tighten up the blade and probably center it.

    Olympic "events" LOL! The batoning was very dramatic - it rocked the stadium. Actually, the toothpick does the job as half of my Swiss Army knife attachments (3 of 6). And still sharp enough to cut your finger. Knife abuser!

  • @leodegas7731
    @leodegas7731 Рік тому

    I'm glad you did this, but you should do it over again because in real life use, you would sharpen them to get the most efficient use.
    A dull knife is a dangerous knife if you're using it for a small EDC.
    That's the reason for a test like you're doing. How will they hold up to EDC use.
    Good job since you're the only one doing this test.
    Ps.
    I have Knives from AD10 to Reate knives, to loveless knives. I was thinking about getting a case toothpick modified by David yellowhorse.
    I use many of my collectables, so i wanted to see how this would hold up b4 i bought it. $300 so you can see why i wanted to check out your tests.🤣

    Not for batoning, throwing, or opening cans, will ruin the joints, lol! That's for skinning a racoon. Held up really well through the abuse though.
