Metal toothpick for 58mm SAK
on: August 18, 2017, 05:00:25 AM
Hey all, does anyone know if there is a metal toothpick available for 58mm SAKs? I take a Classic on backpacking trips and the plastic pick is not really cutting it. I've searched the web and the forum and didn't come up with anything, but y'all are the experts so I figured I'd ask!

Thanks a bunch
Russ

Hi Russ, I honestly haven't encountered anyone selling metal toothpicks as a substitute for the plastic one.  I do recall an old conversation here where people were trying to create a substitute tool that will fit in the toothpick slot -- note that it's not necessarily a tool for picking teeth.

I guess customize is the way to go!

Ah dang, ok. I do have connections to some good metalworkers around town so hopefully I can figure something out. If it works out would anybody here be interested? I'd hate to do all that work and keep it to myself

You found a hookup for metal toothpicks? That's pretty neat. Is it a source we can get them from as well?

Either way post pics when you get your hands on them!

I just use the tip of the file for anything that would demand metal toothpick, works just as fine on the Classic SD as it does on the regular pointy file classic.

I always thought that metal toothpicks are not a good idea as they damage your teeth? Though pure gold one might be soft enough?  :think:

Though maybe these "Toothpicks" are solely pokey tools?  :think:

Just got this in the mail today! Investment cast in bronze. It snaps in just a bit more snug than the original plastic, so there's very little chance of losing it  :tu:

I had one made as a sample, and will be making at least a few more for friends and such. If there's interest here I can definitely add to the order! I'd also be happy to make toothpicks for longer models if folks would like. I'm not sure exactly what the rules are here, I'm guessing I'd have to at least arrange that through the For Sale part of the forum rather than the Discussion area.

As for safety, I am not a dentist (or a lawyer) so take this with a grain of salt, but bronze at Mohs 3 is only slightly harder than silver/gold and is softer than both tooth enamel (Mohs 5) and steel dental picks (Mohs 4+) so it should not scratch your teeth (chomping on it is still bad!). It is certainly safer in that respect than titanium (Mohs 6) toothpicks on the market.

That's very cool.  If they were available for sale I would buy a few.  If they were available in the larger toothpick size I'd take a few of those as well.

Two different metals in a moist enviroment will induce an electric current. That's why chewing on aluminum foil can be painfull if you have golden teeth or amalgam fillings. Luckily most dental fillings now are made of composite plastics that induce no electrical currents.
And whatever metal you choose, stay away from Beryllium!
