ABSTRACT:
A tool which functions as a blade pick and well cleaner to be used with "pocket" knives. The blade pick and well cleaner, made of a strong, slightly malleable material, preferably stainless steel, has ends that may be inserted in the notch of knife blades and attachments to assist in their opening when fingers and fingernails are ineffective or inadequate for this purpose. The bottom end of the blade pick also serves as a cleaner to remove the material adhering therein, including that material which made opening the blade or attachment difficult. In the preferred embodiment, the blade pick and well cleaner replaces the toothpick or tweezers that are found in handle slots or receptacles of a specific type of knife known as a "Swiss Army Knife". The tool may also be composed of any one of several permanent magnet materials having sufficient strength, hardness and corrosive assistance properties to serve the purposes of the tool. In such case, the tool need not be bowed and can be retained in place by magnetic attraction. Such a tool also provides the user with an emergency compass.
