Help with my “Standard” toothpick pocketknife
Hello all, I am new to collecting pocket knives but not so new at owning them. I recently acquired this Standard Toothpick and after a lot of web searching I can’t pinpoint a date of manufacture or find many like it. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

There are also plenty of repro Standard Knife Co knives out there. Posting a photo or several is the only way we could tell if yours is original or a modern Copy.

The scales remind me of Boker.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Both are modern knives not original. Stamps , grinds and nail nicks are the give aways .

Agreed - not original. Whittler appears to have started as a Queen #48 whittler. Stockman is Bulldog/Olbertz.ScoutKnives wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2025 6:11 pm Both are modern knives not original. Stamps , grinds and nail nicks are the give aways .

Really LIKE your big ole' coke-bottle, Joe, I'd LOVE it if it had a spear-point blade instead!

Thanks, Marco.
The "early hunter pattern"

The spear blade is very special, I agree.

Both are counterfeits, therefore their only value if any, is what they're worth as EDC users. Best value is as a teaching experience. It has happened to most of us.
