Toothpick

print
 Victorinox introduced the toothpick and tweezers in models in 1942.  Until 1960, many were carved from ivory.  Each company has several different variations based on the sizes of the knives they fit into, and the design has changed somewhat over the years.

Victorinox
Here are the toothpicks from a 58mm and a 91mm size Victorinox knife. The 58mm size toothpick will also fit the 74mm size knives. Note the angular head of the 91mm toothpick, making it fit properly into one side of the scales only. The 58mm size toothpicks will fit into either scale on the knife. The "bumps" on the surfaces of the toothpicks help to hold it into the scale.

Wenger
Here are the toothpicks from a 65mm and a 85mm size Wenger knife. The 65mm size toothpick will also fit the 75mm size knife. Note the angular head of the 85mm toothpick, making it fit properly into one side of the scales only. The 65mm size toothpicks will fit into either scale on the knife. The little "nibs" sticking out on the sides help to hold it into the scale.
