Amputate, it’s just a flesh wound.

Sharp thin needle and Swann Morton scalpel both useful at times. Mostly though I'm lucky enough I don't tend to get deep splinters. Good soak if you're really struggling, then open up the entry point til you can grab the *******. Oh, sharp tweezers too I guess.

Man up and use a rusty nail, old skool.

Usually try biting them out. Make it worse. Wait a few days for it to get inflamed them squeeze and pinch it out.
Probably should use some tools and remove the bit of splinter I've got in my hand atm.

Always used a needle have a good dig around until I can grab it with some tweezers.

Needles and possibly tweezers. I do remember a white coloured cream that was once made up for me to aid with "drawing" out a particularly deep one. I can't remember what the cream was called.
I do remember getting one particular splinter that ran the full length under my thumb nail. It seemed to start about 2mm in and go right to the end. That one still makes certain bodily parts contract and clench just at the memories of getting it out.
EDIT: Magnesium Sulphate is the name of the cream.
