BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER
All right-so I got a little crazy with wanting ice picks with the best performance and bought a whole bunch of them off of Amazon hoping to find most of them good. The truth is most of them were not good, but this one was exceptional. When I studied the different ones I purchased I came to the conclusion that the key to an excellent ice pick is one that is strong, but yet has the thinnest diameter to pierce through the ice. When I first looked at this one I noticed the shaft was much thinner than the others and thought it was inferior, but in reality it is that thin profile of the steel that actually makes it far superior to the others. Yes, I know-bigger is usually better, but we are not talking about porno flicks here-we are talking about ice picks! ~~ And in the arena of ice picks, and believe me I didn't know this until I bought all of these different ice picks,-the DIAMETER of the profile of that long ice pick shaft is the key to the best performance. No, I won't return the others-but I am trying to save you the trouble of making sure you pick the right one. Sorry for the porno reference-but it just came into my mind,-hopefully that will make it past the censors!

Put to the test and passed with flying colors!!
This is a great ice pick. I purchased it a couple of months ago and use it DAILY and SEVERAL TIMES during the day. My ice cube maker in my freezer leaks a little water into the ice cube bin when making the ice, and I get an area in the corner of the bin that freezes into a solid block. This pick breaks up the block easily. The handle is made well and of quality wood. There is absolutely NO chipping or flaking off on the ice pick itself. It is sturdy and has held up well under the daily use. I wipe it dry immediately after using and insert it in a cork (as another buyer posted with a photo) to protect hands and the pick itself when in the cutlery drawer. I would buy it again with no hesitation. I would say that if anyone has put this ice pick to the test, it's me.

So good I bought a second one.
I purchased one of these a couple years ago. It has been dependable and very durable. I am buying a second one since the first one has been absent from the kitchen after being used on some craft projects. I Recommend putting an old used wine cork on the tip when not in use. It is extremely sharp, which is kind of the point... ; )

Nice to Have the Real Thing
I've been a long time without an ice pick. Trying to minimize, I gave my previous pick to charity shop. Almost any knife works to chomp ice. I say, it just feels right to have an ice pick in the drawer again. I let it stay wet. A small bit of rust appeared, but easily rubbed away. I recommend.

Excellent for bartending and fighting zombies
Product: Ontario Knife Company 7115 1001 Ice Pick KnifeRating: 4/5 (excellent)Long ago, in parallel with my Engineering career, I had a side business in bartending, and that meant working with ice ... LOTS of ice. When you work with lots of ice on a regular basis, you learn to appreciate the finer points (pun intended) on things like ice picks. Anyway, my last pick grew a pair of legs at my last BBQ and walked away. So, I checked everything currently listed on Amazon, and as of this moment, the Ontario seems to offer the most bang for the buck in it's price point.Likes:HCS STEEL: This is not your typical low-end kitchen utensil grade of 18/10 stainless steel, stamped out in wire form and stuffed into a die to give it a quick point ... oh no no no ... this is high carbon TOOL-GRADE steel that's been HARDENED to a much higher degree than is possible with mere stainless. Here are the relevant adjectives: harder & tougher. HARDER means that for a given strike, the shaft will transmit your mechanical force more efficiently into the point (read: less flexing and hand shock on impact), and the point will penetrate more deeply and stay nice and pointy for far longer. TOUGHER means you can use more force, and from a variety of angles, without the shaft snapping or becoming permanently bent. Those are excellent advantages that come at a small but happily paid price (for me anyway) ... stainlessness. All that really means is that you must dry this off in timely fashion before putting it away, and for bonus points periodically wipe the steel with a little vegetable oil, fat, or even lip balm (esp if you live near salt water). As long as you take care of it, it will serve you well for many years, and probably outlive you. Just for the record, the only people who actually wear out picks like these are bartenders, and people who fight zombies for a living. Regardless, on the off chance a dot of rust appears, as long as you remove it promptly (re: bartender's friend, then clean, dry & re-oil), and never put it away wet, all will be well. Let it become pitted however, and the world will know that you are lazy, careless, or both, and may the Gods smite you for it.HANDLE: This is a solid durable hardwood handle, and it's been sealed to make it stainproof and waterproof. It's firmly affixed to the pick (a combination of flattened shank superglued into the hardwood handle, then reinforced with a ferrule at the waist to prevent flexion splitting), an you can be confident it will never come off.PRICE: Excellent value.Minor Nits:* HANDLE ERGO (-1): Although the quality and durability of the hardwood is excellent, Men with average or larger size hands may find the handle a tiny bit short. Also, it lacks an ergonomic palm swell, and the polyurethane finish makes it a little slippery and leaves me wishing for a more non-slip textured finish, and perhaps even a modest thumb indent in the heel.* NO SHEATH (-0): An optional sheath would be a welcome add-on option ... preferably one that's waterproof, locks to the ferrule, and perhaps includes a belt clip or lanyard hole. Never having yet seen a decent one (hence the -0 penalty), I've always settled on the DIY half measure of drilling a snug-fitting hole into the bottom of a clean wine or champagne cork - about 2/3rds the length of the cork, and then wedge the pick into the opening after drying. That keeps the pointy end of the pick safe when not in use.A great pick at a great price. Recommended.

Whip this sucker out at dinner parties when you need that random ice-breaker
The gently tapered shaft is where it's at. I ship these with a product for use as an assembly tool where the assembly process requires piercing a pvc rubber sheath and using the point of the pick to manipulate a component into final position... Other picks I've seen have a quickly tapered last 1/2 or so, making it hard to poke a precise hole in the rubber, and making operation more awkward since the useful end of the shaft is thicker than necessary.One weird thing however is that the handle inthe picture is different than the squared body handle that was shipped. Might be that's an advantage for me, but still interesting that they got the pic wrong.

Efficiently breaks up my ice blocks
We live in an area where summer temperatures regularly reach 105 to 110 degrees, so I always put an ice chest in my car before I go grocery shopping so nothing spoils. I like to freeze water in milk cartons because it lasts so much longer than crushed or cubed ice, but it needs to be broken up a bit. My last ice pick finally broke – I think I’d had it for 20+ years – and they’re surprisingly hard to find in the store. This one seems to be of decent quality, with a solid wooden handle and a tapered metal pick. It’s super sharp and has done a fine job of breaking up my ice blocks. I love the smooth, comfortable grip. Hopefully I can get 20 years out of this one as well!
