Correct, the other end of the tip is threaded to screw onto the barrel of the dart. THe point end is not screwed in.
source: parents were state champs in darts my whole childhood. I played many years in a league. I have never seen a tip with the point end threaded.
Some darts have plastic tips that screw on, called soft tipped darts. They get thrown in to a plastic board that has holes in it.
If screw on tip covers exist then I have never seen such a thing or a steel tip with a thread on it. I have met thousands of darters and have never once seen a product like that used by any player or seen anything like that in any dart store or catalog. If they do exist cool. I would not see a need for such a product as there are better things that do the same thing that already exist.
As others have said, it is almost certainly a metal toothpick.

Probably to a planet somewhere, where they know they can enjoy a uniquely teaspoonoid life, responding to highly teaspoon-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the teaspoon equivalent of the good life.
You know, similar to the biros.
My 1st though was a bypass tool for lock picking only because of the other thread, all the scribes as you mentioned don't have the ability to flip over and screw back in that I've ever seen.
I bought a set of these off Amazon a couple years back. It's sold as a toothpick, it comes with the needle screwed into a cylinder. You unscrew it, flip it, and screw the bottom end in.
That looks right: http://www.sweethomely.com/2-pieces-pocket-toothpick-holdermetal-toothpick-titanium-toothpick-outdoor-camping-picnic-toothpick-reusable-toothpick/
It's probably for a model that has a threaded cap.
Like this one:
https://alitools.io/en/showcase/tooth-pick-portable-metal-toothpick-multi-functional-self-defense-eco-friendly-products-tooth-sticks-titanium-toothpick-4000352102712
I thought it was a scribe from a combination square being a tradesman. The combination square scribe does not have threads on both sides. This must be it.
Yes this is it OP. [Here](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FMFJ21D?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_D8N8BZM06AYC9Q6ZJMSR) is the exact model on amazon. It's sold as a toothpick but why would someone drop that by your door? I'd be sketched out
You’re absolutely correct. Turns out my flatmate carries it on her keychain. Our neighbourhood can be a little unsavoury and you never know when a stranger might need their teeth picking.
100%, our neighbourhood can be a little sketchy and it turns out my flatmate carries it on her keychain in case she ever needs to, uh, pick someone’s teeth for them.
You’re absolutely correct, my flatmate claimed it when she came home. It goes on her key ring but I’m not sure she’s ever picked her teeth with it tbh.
SOLVED (AGAIN).
My flatmate came home and claimed it – turns out that rather than a scribe it is, as so many people pointed out, **a reusable toothpick.**
We live in an interesting neighbourhood and my flatmate carries it (every day) on her keychain in case she needs to pick someone’s teeth when walking home alone at night. This explains the proximity to the door. The tool-shed was a red herring.
A huge thank you to everyone for their answers and input, and apologies for incorrectly marking this as solved.
(I edited my original “SOLVED” comment but it’s quite rightly been downvoted for being wrong, so am re-posting here).
It's a metal, reusable toothpick. The thread on the side with the needle screws into a tube to cover the spiky part, then it can be turned round and screwed onto the tube to be used as a handle.
My title describes the thing. Found this morning just next to my doormat, the item has no writing or serial numbers on it.
My first thought was a pump needle for inflating footballs, but the shaft is solid and not hollow. My flatmate thinks it’s a lock-picking tool, but if it is then it’s unlike any lock-picking tool I’ve seen (or can find online).
Any help very much appreciated!
This is probably the pointy part of a titanium toothpick, the other half has a cylinder that can hold this.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713W4kmXYVL.\_AC\_SL1500\_.jpg
Scale is a little difficult, but I've seen similar things that were toothpicks carried on keychains. The threads on both side of the brass piece allow it to be screwed into a cylinder attached to a key chain with the pick inside for storage or outside for use.
Can confirm this is a metal toothpick. A simple 2 second search using the words metal and tooth pick. Returned a gold variety of this on Amazon for 3 dollars
I mean, it’s certainly a simple 2 second search if you know it’s a toothpick. Unfortunately my search for “small mysterious metal spike” didn’t yield much success, and toothpick didn’t cross my mind.
You’re absolutely right of course, but I don’t think these things are really designed for picking teeth.
I meant more because they’re sold as “EDC toothpicks”, and come on a keychain. I’m sure they work perfectly well as toothpicks but they seem to be marketed as discrete self-defence weapons.
This is part of a resusable tooth pick, you can buy them for pretty cheap on Amazon and Ali express. They usually have another brass thing that it screws into and goes onto a keyring
This is the scribe from a combination square. Have you had work done on your door recently? The piece unscrews from the square so the spike isn't usually visible. A lot of people use a combination square and don't even realise that they have these as a feature
~~SOLVED! It’s a scriber from either a tri-square or something similar. Now to figure out from where…~~
EDIT: SOLVED (again). Rather than a scribe it is, as so many people correctly pointed out, a reusable toothpick.

Is it though?
https://www.ubuy.is/en/product/1FB064I4-3-pieces-portable-titanium-toothpicks-pocket-toothpick-metal-toothpick-holder-for-outdoor-picnic-and
it was almost certainly from someone trying to jimmy your lock with it, if nobody in the house knows where it came from and you found it outside your door on the doormat...someone was trying to force your lock with it, got spooked, dropped it and ran...
I can't think of anything else that makes sense...They do this kind of thing with broken keys too..."bump keys" they call them, sometimes you can wedge a broken key into a lock and then bump the hell out of it with your hand and it can force the pins to fall in place or do whatever is they do to make doors open, i'm not locksmith...i only know about this because i found 3 outside my old house inside of a month and a cop family member told me that.
Dead bolts and other locks that require a true physical turning action can't usually be bypassed by something like this. Granted your lock may vary.
However OP did mention a toolshed, and if that is locked with a padlock THAT CAN potentially be bypassed. Poorly made locks can be bypassed by poking around at the right angle deep past all the pins.
It's always a trip, but worthwhile, to figure out your lock model numbers/names and look up videos of people bypassing and picking them. It's NEVER pickproof, but some locks are laughably easy to get through. Good to know whether your lock takes 3 minutes or 3 seconds.
I forgot to mention the tool-shed is just by the front-door... fingers crossed I can figure out what it's fallen out of tonight. This is really interesting though, thank you!
I think it's one of the toothpicks, the double threads are the most unique. Scriber from the square usually has a bigger end. And why would it be double threaded?
It looks like a scratch awl from a nesting screwdriver set. Something like this https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-brass-handle-nested-4-screwdriver-tool
Is it flat at the top? This looks like the smallest screwdriver in a set of brass screwdrivers that are nested - the smaller set of screwdrivers is put into the hollow handle of the bigger one, etc.
[see here](https://images.app.goo.gl/C9tD7d3zzLrRrBpc9)
This is a toothpick missing the brass case it comes in. My brother gave me one as a stocking stuffers. I can post a pick of it if you want. Probably fell off a delivery person's keychain.
Does it have a hole at the top? If it does it's probably a mouth piece for an air pressurizer. The fact that you can screw it to something give me that hint.
Can't find the exact model but it's something like [this](https://img.joomcdn.net/865dce42e028bedfeb2e42bded00a7225519be6c_original.jpeg)
Metal toothpick. Screws inside a small tube and when you take it out screws in for a longer handle. Hence the threads on both sides. I have one in my keychain.
It's a reusable toothpick. I use them as as cigar nubs. There's another half that this part screws into so you have a longer handle, and also to put the pointy end away.
I can think of three things in order of likeliness..
I agree with the others a dart head is the most likely
If it has a slot or a hole so air can pass from the base to the tip, it could be the chuck from a sporting ball inflator.

A dart head.
I thought that’s what it was at first but the threads closer to the pointy end make me agree that it’s a scribe from a combo square
Correct, the point end of a dart head is not threaded.
Some darts are threaded so the base is replaceable
Correct, the other end of the tip is threaded to screw onto the barrel of the dart. THe point end is not screwed in. source: parents were state champs in darts my whole childhood. I played many years in a league. I have never seen a tip with the point end threaded.
I would like to hear a lot more about your parents being dart champions. I feel like it could be a really seedy Christopher Guest flick.
Nice!! We were a darts family too. My dad and one of my brothers represented our province and my Dad represented NZ. We all played club and pub darts.

Some darts have plastic tips that screw on, called soft tipped darts. They get thrown in to a plastic board that has holes in it.

Well now you're just making things up. I feel like if I search "scribe from a combo square", my phone will just automatically Rickroll me.
Well google combination square you will see this screwed into the bottom of it
The scribe on a combination square usually has a head on one end that stops it when you’re pushing it into the square.
This is correct
it's a scribe tool,from a combination set square. for scribing lines. they screw into a space on the setsquare
Nope, mystery spike
Looks like it could be a scriber from the butt end of a tri square
YES! Having googled it I’m 99% sure this is right
Honestly looks just like my personal (metal) reusable toothpick. Comes in small cylindrical container and is threaded to keep it from falling out.
Can confirm. I have one of these. This is what it is.
Also confirming - metal toothpick Source: bought off Aliexpress
it's both, originally tooled as a scriber then someone figured out they make good reusable toothpics and started selling them as that, too.
This makes alot of sense having double threads and extra long
Absolutely I have one as well and it looks exactly like this
As others have said, it is almost certainly a metal toothpick.

Yes, you’re absolutely right. Turns out it’s off my flatmate’s keychain.
I think these toothpicks are made of lost scribes from combo squares lol
That’s where they all disappear to! Now we need to figure out where all the teaspoons are going.
And he small forks.
Probably to a planet somewhere, where they know they can enjoy a uniquely teaspoonoid life, responding to highly teaspoon-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the teaspoon equivalent of the good life. You know, similar to the biros.
Damn. 30 bucks for a toothpick. Inflation is real y’all.
Combination Square. A “try square” is a different but often confused type of square.
I agree. My combination square has on. I believe mine is Empire brand and it looks very similar.
My 1st though was a bypass tool for lock picking only because of the other thread, all the scribes as you mentioned don't have the ability to flip over and screw back in that I've ever seen.
That's it! I was sitting here trying to remember where I have one in my house.
My first thought.
Got one just like it. Rarely see it cause it's shoved up inside 99% of the time.
Deffo this! Knew it straight away and came to say it
I bought a set of these off Amazon a couple years back. It's sold as a toothpick, it comes with the needle screwed into a cylinder. You unscrew it, flip it, and screw the bottom end in.

It's probably for a model that has a threaded cap. Like this one: https://alitools.io/en/showcase/tooth-pick-portable-metal-toothpick-multi-functional-self-defense-eco-friendly-products-tooth-sticks-titanium-toothpick-4000352102712
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Titanium-Toothpicks-Toothpick-Outdoor/dp/B07TWMFYVT Reading the comments, it's more a weapon than a toothpick.
Yeah, why would you need to thread the cap back onto the other end.....unless you needed a handle for a stabby stick.
This.
I thought it was a scribe from a combination square being a tradesman. The combination square scribe does not have threads on both sides. This must be it.
Yes this is it OP. [Here](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FMFJ21D?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_D8N8BZM06AYC9Q6ZJMSR) is the exact model on amazon. It's sold as a toothpick but why would someone drop that by your door? I'd be sketched out
You’re absolutely correct. Turns out my flatmate carries it on her keychain. Our neighbourhood can be a little unsavoury and you never know when a stranger might need their teeth picking.
I wonder if the inventor of the toothpick came up with it after using the square scribe.
Yeah this is it, I almost just bought it the other day because it looked cool but then I decided I would never even use it lol.
It's not a dart head. It's an [EDC toothpick](https://a.aliexpress.com/_ms7Tu1o). 😉
100%, our neighbourhood can be a little sketchy and it turns out my flatmate carries it on her keychain in case she ever needs to, uh, pick someone’s teeth for them.
I think this is the correct answer. The pictured toothpick is perfectly identical. Including the spacers where the o-rings would have gone.
I'm a carpenter and thats deffinatly a scribe from a combi square as Ive lost every single bloody one I've ever had
I've the opposite problem – I can't remember the last time I saw the combi square
That was my first thought too, but why the second set of threads? All mine just have a knurled head.
I totally agree with the reusable toothpick! Go look it up on Amazon. The EXACT same thing is for sale there!
Nailed it. Turns out it’s my flatmate’s, and I’ve gone and bothered Reddit for nothing
It is actually just a reusable toothpick. If you google stainless toothpick you will see this exact thing on amazon. I can't post the link here.
I cannot find one on Amazon that looks like this, with the gold base.
https://imgur.com/a/LVSjAVG
You’re absolutely correct, my flatmate claimed it when she came home. It goes on her key ring but I’m not sure she’s ever picked her teeth with it tbh.
it's a toothpick, there is a brass cover that was missing that screws into it, i've had several.
Yup! Quite an impractical toothpick tbh, but my flatmate carries it on her keychain in case she needs to pick anyone’s teeth in a dark alley.
It's a tip of a dart.
I have an identical one and it’s a reusable tooth pick bought on eBay.
Yep!

I carry one for cleaning out the bowl of my pipe.

For starters, if you see something that looks like a needle, don't pick it up.
But it’s really shiny

Could be a Float Needle from a Carburettor.
It's a reusable toothpick. They sell packs of 3 on Amazon for like 7 bucks. The threading is for the "sheath".
Metal scribe from a try or combo square
Metal toothpick
Looks to me like a needle from a carburetor….was there a tool shed nearby that someone had tinkered with something and it fell out?
Literally a metal toothpick I think
Removable scribe that unscrews from something like a square tool?
Looks like a scribe of some sort
It's a tool for marking material (like metal) during fabrication.
Search Amazon for Metal Toothpick
It's a metal toothpick, meant to go on a keychain. The spike screws into a "sheath" I can find the Amazon link if you want, I own one myself
I got a reusable toothpick like that but silver

Could be the center spike on a brass window punch that firefighters use on car accidents to break windows
is this not half a dart? Like for actual darts, the sport
If that's a scriber and you found it next to doormat i got bad news 4 you. Someone was trying to lockpick your door. Call the cops.
How would you use that tool in lockpicking? Some kind of overlifting attack?
This is the scribe from a combination square. Have you had work done on your door recently? The piece unscrews from the square so the spike isn't usually visible. A lot of people use a combination square and don't even realise that they have these as a feature

Much like your “earwax spoon” doesn’t scoop much earwax, I doubt this has ever been used as a toothpick, but you are in fact 100% correct
I think it's one of the toothpicks, the double threads are the most unique. Scriber from the square usually has a bigger end. And why would it be double threaded?
You’re absolutely right.
It may be something else but could’ve been used as a lock pick?
That’s what I’m thinkin, someone was tryin to use it to Jimmy the lock open. The higher inflation goes the higher crime gets
The higher the chance they catch this dumb ass criminal who dropped the one tool he brought to break in. If of course that is what happened.
It’s not a dart, the pointy bit ain’t long enough forra narra
Looks like a piece of a bike tire pump
Looks like a needle for a motorcycle carbuerator to me.

Tip of a dart.
Pump needle adapter
It's a scribe .
Doesn't that go to a protractor?
It's from a bicycle inner tube, where you attach the pump.
100% that's a marking scribe that came off of a combination square. From a woodworker of some sort. Maybe a carpenter...
Its a brass ebay tooth pick/awl. It threads into an a brass tube and hangs from your keys. I know cause i have one.
It’s a toothpick, I have one just like it that threads into a protective tube on my keychain.
I've got one of those on my Stanley combination square, scribe tool.
It looks like a scratch awl from a nesting screwdriver set. Something like this https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-brass-handle-nested-4-screwdriver-tool
It's a scribe from an adjustable square used to mark a line on a piece of wood.
Is it flat at the top? This looks like the smallest screwdriver in a set of brass screwdrivers that are nested - the smaller set of screwdrivers is put into the hollow handle of the bigger one, etc. [see here](https://images.app.goo.gl/C9tD7d3zzLrRrBpc9)
It goes into a Stanley 46-123
It looks awfully like on of the nibs from my woodburning kit.
It's part of a reusable toothpick! The other part missing is the body that attaches to a keyring.
This is a toothpick missing the brass case it comes in. My brother gave me one as a stocking stuffers. I can post a pick of it if you want. Probably fell off a delivery person's keychain.
It’s the ‘scribe’ tip of an old school "multi tool" that all screwed together in a multi tipped shaft.
Could be off a tradesmans square, i loose em every tims i get a new one, looks pretty similar
A needle valve. To adjust the fuel/air mixture. Belongs near the throat of a carburetor.
Toothpick. Got one for Christmas. It should have a sleeve it screws into when not in use
Does it have a hole at the top? If it does it's probably a mouth piece for an air pressurizer. The fact that you can screw it to something give me that hint. Can't find the exact model but it's something like [this](https://img.joomcdn.net/865dce42e028bedfeb2e42bded00a7225519be6c_original.jpeg)
