Well i were wondering... Thoose handles were you can change picks, the item wich does look like a pen, what is that?
I do want do make one of those my self

And these "jackknifes" is that a tool wich has many different "wide" like 0.5mm - 1mm?
Im not sure, but can you guys, which offcourse know this
Plz help me out?

Plz link to a site were i can read about/buy it so i can begin making one myself

Thx to all answers

I dont like your choice of wording for the title on this thread, help fast is for someone stuck not someone wanting advice,

The jacknife is basically like a penknife (make one from a pen knife if you want) that has differant types of picks in it rather than differant thicknesses,

The jacknife isnt reccomended for a beginer and more of a gimick bought and never used properly,

The other tool i can only guess at a kwick pick (i havent looked at your links sorry), agfain a gimmicky toy that is proven to be below par in the fit for use stakes,

Again you could make one but its hardly worth it, if you want to make one you may want to look at the range of xacto hobby knifes, they will give you a handle with tightening screw so all you really need to do then is make your pick blades,

If starting out get a simple easy set then when you have spare cash and want to play with somthing for 30 mins to spend some time then get somthign like the above, as for useing them for learning to pick forget it,

Once you learn to pick or can pick (if you cant already) then you see these for what they are and realise youve saved some money or time in making them,

love the fast reply at this site, thx!

and ye im sorry about the choose of title, ill remeber that

tehextinct, you can take an X-Acto hobby knife and hollow out the handle to hold pick blades in, add a clamp on pen clip like you would see on mechanical pencils and you have a pen pick set.

For jackknives, the pick blades are not different widths or lengths. There just several pick styles of the same width and length fastened via a screw in a housing shaped like a knife.

Thx Kaotik that was what i was looking for!!
Have made a couple of them now, find them usefull cuz they take not so much place in my pocket, but prefer the "normal picks"

Thx!

I prefer no handle, or just a couple dips in plastidip.

Wow, those are actually pretty decent looking picks you made! I like the ones with (correct me if I'm wrong) metal handles on them. Good work.

The pics are what he found on the site and linked to, they arent his picks nor did he make them,

Those picks are very impressive! Good job
