Commissioned Picks

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

I received my pick from ChonkyTonks today and my first reaction is WOW! This is a beautiful pick and the pictures did not do the wood justice! I broke it in with a Best SFIC I have been picking on and it has a wonderful feel and feedback. The wood part is a little smaller than I imagined, but it actual is the perfect size for my hand. The contour is also very nice and feels good holding it. I will definitely be in for some more picks.

It is great to see these wonderful custom picks. A lot of the great pick makers have been taking some time off and ChonkyTonks is well on his way to being one of the great ones. I encourage everyone looking for great picks to pick one or more up.

Cheers!

As I stated before, thanks for the kind words, Ed. Making picks has become a great hobby for me and something that sustains me artistically where tech cannot. I look forward to making more picks for you and others in the community.
