TOOTH PICK

[CANTHOK]

IS THIS THE REAL DEAL??

[cato]

Not able to see it real well...

but I think its not right looks like
wrong jigging
stamp looks to big

The frame looks Ok from here but I need a closer look at the jigging

Based on what I can see I would say NO. The color of the bone looks like XX or newer. Should be green bone but it doesn't look at all like Tested knife color to me. Jigging does not look correct either. I would say modern counterfeit.

Do you have any other pictures?

SORRY WAYNE THAT I TOOK SO LONG--DON'T KNOW ALL THERE IS TO POSTING PICKS. A KNIFE IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE SOLD RECENTLY FOR $300 PLUS.

The second picture you posted shows it much better. The knife is a complete modern fake. I am not sure what the identical knife was but I am sure this is not real.

The bone color and jigging is incorrect for a Case Tested Knife. Blade looks like stainless steel with incorrect glazed finish. Handle end pins placement is set too far from bolsters.

Here is a very similar knife from the Counterfeit Forum.

IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, THE OLD TESTED ERA TOOTH PICK WAS WIDER TOWARD THE FRONT BOLSTER AND TAPERED TO A NARROWER PROFILE TOWARD THE END BOLSTER. THIS KNIFE LOOKS TO HAVE THE SAME WIDTH FROM FRONT BOLSTER TO BACK BOLSTER.
