Has anyone tried this sellers picks? They look somewhat shoddy for the price but sometimes looks are deceiving.

wow, first post in 2 years.. those picks look very rough, and I would only buy them to support the craftsmen and artisans who sell their wares on that site. $62 per set is a little steep, should be like $29 and I'm only making it that high because of the nice hand made case.

I gotta ask.. are those your picks and your sale?

I looked at those picks before. My assumption is they are for novelty purposes. made out of hack saw blades too it looks like.

Band saw blade - says so in the description.

Way too expensive... The case is nice, but bulky. Considering what you can get on the commercial market for those dollars, I just can't see buying that...
