Stainless Steel Ice Pick with Wooden Handle and Sheath Kitchen Tool (Black)

DISCLAIMER: I ordered this product in 2019, but it’s 2022 as I write this review. While looking at the current product page, the dimensions seem to have changed, so… I’m not entirely sure this review is still valid, but here goes for the 2019 version, whose overall and blade length I list below:It’s an icepick. A deceptively simple tool that’s basically fool proof to make unless you decide to use a really cheap metal that’s going to get brittle and snap while doing its intended job.This is not such an icepick.This icepick does it’s job exactly as one might expect, and it does it well. It’s very sturdy. The size is juuuuuust right (for my purposes anyway). I have not seen so much as one speck of rust so I trust that it is indeed actually made of stainless steel. The wood is attractive with a nice finish, the tool does not slip in the hand at all during use, and the brass fitting looks classy with the wood tone.The pick blade is 4″ long, and the product overall is 9″ long when closed. The two halves screw together and are flush when closed, and screw open and closed smoothly.If you intend to use a hammer with this, use a lightweight rubber mallet with a gentle touch at most, as I do not believe the product would hold up very well to that. Better to use short controlled chipping motions with this one by hand.
