Hi, im new to the forums, a bit about myself:
I am 13, i got into lockpicking when i left my locker key at home and had a test the same day

sux

so anyway
I already have plans for the jackknife, i got the idea from Murph and his homemade jackknife idea

i will post the plans as soon as i get a digital camera, but for now feel free to post suggestions

Birdseye Maple is a personal favorite. Tiger maple would also probably make wonderful pick handles. You may be able to get some from a local furniture maker if you ask for scraps. Try a hand rubbed tung oil finish. These will look lovely.

Ugh...Leave it up to me to be that smart one in the topic, Jees guys, get smarter....

Ok, Putty can come in many types of variation of colors and such, They can be bought from the same place where your buying the wood, Also, Make sure you get a putty that is LIGHTER in color of the wood, as when its dry it does go darker, but a slight variation of color makes it look cool, and not to light either, Oak's are a good wood, lots of variations of that too, Go for dark wood, because it looks sexy against metal, also, make sure you are totally satisfied with your pick before putting it into the handle, Give it 3 stage polishing, 1 - with a nice and coarse sandpaper, 2 - get half the grit size and finally 3 - Get some wet and dry and finish it off. Hope this helps, as some of the people on this site are...lets just say.....different.

Well good luck and when youâ€™re finished, take some pic's and put them on photobucket and put them on here so I can see.

yeh i was thinking of using oak, nice to see people say metal looks sexy, lol

skold is sending me some picks of his own that he made and 'blank' picks( in other words: street cleaner bristles) so i can make them the right shape to fit into the knife, there is lots of space so I might add in a knife and a hacksaw lol
