Historically, the Arkansas toothpick was favored by frontiersmen and soldiers due to its versatility. It was used for everything from everyday tasks to self-defense. The knife became iconic in American folklore, often associated with the rugged lifestyle of the American South.
In modern times, the Arkansas toothpick has seen a resurgence in interest among knife collectors and enthusiasts, appreciated for its craftsmanship and historical significance. It is also featured in various cultural representations, reinforcing its status as a symbol of Americana.
