Arkansas Toothpick

The Arkansas Toothpick is a true classic of early American history — a blade carried by rugged mountain men, trappers, and frontiersmen who braved the wilderness in search of adventure and survival. Large enough to fend off predators on the trail or settle disputes at the local trading post, this distinctive dagger symbolizes the untamed spirit of the frontier. Rugged, elegant, and historically significant, it remains a must-have for collectors and re-enactors alike.

Heritage of the Mountain Man

The Arkansas Toothpick knife emerged during the 19th century as the slimmer, more refined cousin of the Bowie knife. Favored by explorers and soldiers alike, it was prized for its piercing double-edged blade and exceptional balance. This versatile design could serve as a fighting knife, a hunting companion, or a symbol of status on the American frontier. Its enduring popularity continues to capture the imagination of history enthusiasts and traditional knife collectors.
