My tool is not really a 'dental pick' although I called it that.
Actually it is a 'two-point scriber', Model 380B, by General
Tools and Instruments.  See it here (I have NFI):

The descriptive-text writer must have owned a TR6:

"Great for marking and etching, lifting O-rings and gaskets, and 
cleaning small grooves."
;-)
BTW General also makes a great automatic (spring-loaded) center 
punch, and you can even replace
the tip.  I went through two cheap clones from Harbor Freight before 
I wised up and got one.  It's lasted
10+ years and still going strong.
