Gotta keep 'em sharp!  The A.G. Russell is bone handled, I have carried it my back pocket for quite a number of years and the bone is aging beautifully. Actually, it's recently been sharing it's carry duties with my A.G. Russell Large Sowbelly and the Case Toothpick that won...depends on the size of the pocket.

that A.G. Russell Arkansas Toothpick is beautiful.  I really like that handle material.  So afterwards you had a knife sharpening fest right?

Had a paper shearing contest with my folders, and narrowed it down to the five sharpest in my collection. From top to bottom (with sharpest on top), the are:

Case Large Texas Toothpick
A.G. Russell Arkansas Toothpick
Tom Hudson Custom Marbles Single Blade Folder
Case Swing Guard Folder (stag)
Rough Rider Stoneworx Toothpick

That big Case that won is one sharp knife...came from the factory scary sharp. The diversity of the five would tend to tell me that it's not always the name...the proof is in the cutting.
