HIC Kitchen Ice Pick with Cover

Fits comfortably in the hand and I love the fact it has a cover for it. Works as it should and fits pretty much anywhere. So far the quality seems great 👍🏻

Putting in dish washer will discolor wood

Many kitchen chores often call for a sharp, pointy tool.

I liked the pick, but the cover just falls off without any effort. I read one review where the owner made a fix with tape... not doing that! Pick is in the garage and I'll look for another pick I can safely keep in my kitchen drawer. Company needs to fix the problem.

Have you ever made a purchase, knowing that the item or item would change your quality of life? I am not talking about buying a house when you are homeless, or a car when you are carless; I am talking about a trivial purchase. Well, I LOVE nugget ice, silly indeed, but I purchase it at my local Zaxbys weekly. I use it in all my beverages, protein shakes and have even been known, in a desperate moment, to make a "snow cone" with it using sugar free coffee syrup (don't laugh, I know someone has or WILL try it after reading this!). Well, it clumps after it sits. Being that I am indeed girly, I take it out of the freezer and bang it on the counter (doesn't work), drop it on the floor (doesn't work well) and take it to the garage and toss it onto the floor from the door (works acceptably but splits the bag over time). Last year when I had some strain of the flu and was bored, I purchased myself an Amazon Prime account (created by Satan himself). Set to remedy my "clumpy Zaxby's nugget ice issue" late one evening when I should have been sleeping, I spotted the two most glorious objects. Eureka! I thought and immediately loaded them into my shopping cart. Neither were over $10 and with the free shipping provided with my Amazon Prime account, why they were a steal. Within two days they arrived on my doorstep and I opened the box with glee, unwrapping and cutting off the overly stiff plastic ties and immediate disinfecting my two new ice accouterments. It just so happened I had a new pitcher of unsweet, decaf ice tea "a brewin"; the timing was divine. I poured a giant mug of tea, dried the objects and quickly went to work declumping the ice. With ease, my newHarold'S Kitchen Ice Pick With Sheath 8" tore through the ice clump like a hungry wolverine that had not fed in months effectively separating the clumps into manageable pieces. I then wielded my handy OXO Good Grips Scoop, Translucent White to neatly shovel the freed pieces into my giant mug of tea. Sweet bliss! Yes, the Harold'S Kitchen Ice Pick With Sheath 8" in combination with the OXO Good Grips Scoop, Translucent White have forever changed my quality of life. Daily.

Like the covet on the pick. The ice pick is sharp.

I now own two of these. The thing about ice picks is, when you need one--- you need one.! Nothing else will really do the same job with the same ease of use. If you are looking for an ice pick, don't bother looking in a grocery. You MIGHT find one somewhere locally, but it would probably have to be in a party store, or maybe a specialty kitchen store. OR--- you can shop here on Amazon. You will find a decent selection here varying in price from three dollars or so up to ten or fifteen dollars. Some are labeled "carbon steel" which work good, but are very prone to rust. Others are labeled "stainless steel" which have few if any drawbacks (IF they are in fact made of stainless steel..!). And some others (like this one..) don't really specify. You need to just make a decision based on your own priorities. I purchased this one because I already have one of these and it functions nicely. I have had NO problems with it. It is nicely finished, and the wood cover for the blade keeps it safe in the kitchen appliance drawer.I know some folks have complained about the metal fit, and others about a plating issue, but I have not experienced any of those issues. I like this ice pick because it works like it should, It will not roll off of a counter, it stays sharp and safe in storage, and the price is okay. It represents a GOOD value.! It may not be the best, but it is just fine. AND, when it is time to replace it, you don't feel like you have been robbed....Four stars for a very serviceable product.

Excelente!

Buen producto...

Exactly what I needed and well worth the price.

Muy bien hecho con calidad de materiales

Package well. It breaks the ice ok. It is nice it has a protective cover for the pick.
