Gold Tooth Pick?

[T.J. Hooker]

Hi

Has any one ever had a Victorinox with a gold tooth pick? Its metal and the colour of gold.

Quite heavy for a small piece of metal so I believe it to be gold but at the tip of the pick is some discolouration(does that happen with gold)?

Thanks.

Gold is fairly inert.  It shouldn't rust, tarnish, discolor.


tbh, I thought this thread was about a special pick for people with gold teeth.

Never seen one like that myself, maybe it was custom made?

The tweezers were metal in older knives which tarnishes to a goldish colour.

TiNi coated metals are a sort-of gold colour

The tip is still the colour of gold but sort of looks washed out.

Its quite heavy for metal of that size.

The knife is from the 60-70s.

Elsener's first SAK toothpick, 1902, was, they say, of ivory,
but I've never heard of a one made of gold.  Hand-done by somebody?  Does it have a tiny stamp on it someplace?
The SAK Owner's Manual has a photo showing a Wenger faux-tortoiseshell toothpick, from the days of their large-headed T & T.  Maybe yours is brass like the slightly golden (or even verdegris green) head of old brass-headed tweezers. ?

This one might have a gold toothpick.

I will try to get a photo later(the camera is dirty and I don't like to make my knives dirty .

The knife is a fisherman model and it has scissors(with a nick for cutting wire), file and a fish scaler.

The scales has a fish instead of the victorinox logo. Its red scales(not blue).

From the 60s I believe. Full 91mm I'm sure. I'll get the ruler to check later.
