I thought the euro picks _were_ the slimlines...

They are,

The measurements i gave are for slimlines / euro picks, were still waiting for someone to post the same sort of detail for us picks,

Agreed. I was responding to the other post:

to help skeldone, the the euro picks are 0.5mm and the slimlines are 0.4mm.

which doesn't make sense if they're the same thing.

Of course, sorry,

I think that the common american pick is over thick and works well only on full size cylinders with simple warding, they are designed for heavy handed and amatuer picking where they are treated as pry bars, the manufacturers would rather not get a lot of bent picks returned with complaints so they make em heavy duty, they really should send the slims out with the heavy shaft picks and let the customers see what they are missing.

My Southord picks are 0.020 inches thick. They are the normal picks, not the slimline.

My falle picks are .023" thick

Whose soul did you sell to get falle picks?

What difference do handles make on euro and US picks?
Are they just there to be easier to hold? or does one heighten the feel more?

Ouch, some of those slimlines are bent

LOL some of mine are looking a bit rough
