Mossdancer, I think you probably were told correctly. I'd like to have an example like this for my own collection.

Thanks for all exposing me to yet more toothpicks; I had added a couple that I need to add to the collection. I particularly like the Northwoods.

As a general rule I don't care for toothpicks--tend to not want them in the house--but I think I'd make an exception for that Remington of Mossdancer's. That just looks like a nice business-like knife.

Quality should not be an accident. So what is the explanation for some of the knives we've seen in the past few years? (from A Knifebuyer's Manifesto)

Here's my small group of toothpicks. I like the old narrow, elegant, clip blades.

The top one is a H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery with candy stripe celluloid handles.

The next one is just stamped Boker.

The third one down is a H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery.

Great stuff as always, Greedy. You have so many fine Bokers that it's easy for me to just start to expect them from you! I just want to say that I enjoy looking at your pictures. ::nod::

Thanks Knifegirl888; I'm glad you liked them. I've been chasing these old H. Bokers around for a good while now and have came to the conclusion that I'm not going to be able to shake this pocket knife collecting illness that I caught long ago. :mrgreen:
