Best PKS keyways.

Where I go to school, most of the locks are Best SFIC, and most are of the new PKS patent variety. I finally found a padlock and some cores for sale on Ebay. While the keyway on the auction is slightly different, I assume they are from the same Patent. Check out the paracentric nastiness on these:

Better reach for your slim euro style picks, or come to the uk where everything seems to look like that lol

The real annoyance, is that a 9 cut reaches down to just above where the Z forms. The slimmest picks offer very little help in some keyings.
