Schuyler Towne's lock pick line

[rob sikate]

Does anyone know how i can purchase a set of lock picks from Schuyler Towne?

Last I heard, he and the people who are trying to bail him out are still trying to fill all the original orders placed months (years?) ago. You might want to sit back a while and just see how the situation pans out first.

His failed kickstarter has been a bit of a sore subject for a few people around these parts.

Find Jason Scott at Derbycon. He is helping Schuyler fulfill his obligations, and has decided to sell half of each pick run to finance the purchase and mailing out of the other half to the kickstarter supporters. He isn't selling any until he has them in hand and ready to go.

Without going into a huge amount of detail .. There was a lot of money brought in .. but the process of getting the picks and materials out was a bit overwhelming and there is varying opinions as to whether some of the money was wrongfully spent .. .. Need less to say there were some upset people .. I'm sure you can Google it if you want more details.

Either way everything I have read or seen about him .. I think he is still a good guy ..

Interesting story. I found some CAD drawings of his templates online that show the undercut mentioned in the original Kickstarter (I'm not sure about the more organic shape, but it's an improvement over the normal pick handles).

Does anyone have any experience with these picks (looks like at least some were shipped) or that design? I'm curious if the undercut improves feedback.
