Actually more of a pre-pandemic EDC item: a stainless steel toothpick with a blade made of 925 silver ( 4 cm / 1,5 inches long ).
Since antiquity it has been known that silver has anti-bacterial and desinfectant qualities which makes it a good material for a re-usable toothpick, I guess. Not that I have used it all that much in restaurants recently, because for obvious reasons I haven't eaten out much since the pandemic started. But it's one of those extra Everyday Carry Items I usually always have with me, in a small pouch so it will always stay clean in my bag. Other extra EDC items are: camera with extra battery, an assortment of adhesive plaster, one or two safety pins, paper handkerchiefs, a very small vintage, composable screwdriver (nice for fixing the tiny screws on the hinges of my eyeglasses), a miniature Swiss pocket knife, a nail set with file and scissors, a small wooden comb, chewing gums, and the pandemic usual suspects: a bottle of anti-viral desinfectant, and a spare mask. And no, I haven't been a girl scout ;) The small screwdriver had been my first choice for the theme, but it didn't look as interesting in close-up as this toothpick and its small steel case with their nice surfaces, textures and reflections.
Single shot, illuminated from the left with a yellow light, from the right with an LED lamp without colour filter, and slightly form the front with an LED flashlight that emits a blue-ish light, and processed in DXO PhotoLab 5 and Analog Efex.
HMM, Everyone!
