Especially one of these that I just picked up at my friend’s 50th birthday party yesterday (reducing trash and extending string life):

They’re not one-piece, but the BMT knock-offs of the Silver Bullet (like the Six-shooter), don’t seem to come apart. Not sure how the one in this picture was taken apart, but mine will not come apart (as the description here says):

Someone else mentioned these. I’m going to get one. They sell them on Amazon pretty cheap.

I got mine YEARS ago, just browsed amazon and they don’t have this specific one anymore, but there’s one very similar to it for $30 - if I recall correctly, I paid $50 for this back in 2018 🥲

I use a plastic letter opener, knot picker and string cutter in one.
But these Ti toothpicks are cool and I’ll check it out.
@Kray you deff have the best knot picker design!
Edit i went to the rainforest and i have to say these Ti toothpics are great.
@kray your new design is amazing.

I like the look of @Kray’s picker!
For me - If I have a knot then I’ll attempt to pick it out, failing that I just open the yoyo.

These dental floss picks are very good at pulling out knots. When I don’t have one around, I just unscrew the yo-yo.

I used a toothpick for years. I was recently shocked at how much better the Airetic yarn needle works.

Those look really good. $12 for 400! Lately I’ve been using the pick that came with my Elysium from @FewandFarBetween

Mine were 100 for $6. Figured that was more than enough, although I’ll find other uses for them. Probably could have gone with shorter ones. These are close to 5 inches. But, I can still fit one in my wallet and if I shortened them a little a bunch could be stored in an empty YYSL string container. Happy with the purchase.

Am I the only person who literally just unscrews the yoyo? I’ve never had an issue with vibe or stripping a yoyo or anything like that, and I get knots all the time. Maybe I’m just insanely lucky?
I have a couple orange sticks lying around but I rarely use them. I’m impatient and unscrewing a yoyo to pull the string off the bearing has never caused me a single issue.
