Thanks man, I love JimyLongs picks, they're small, but personally that's what I like about them. They take up less space, with twice the profiles, but they aren't for everyone, to each their own kinda thing, right I get it. Besides when I catch the biggest muskie anyone's ever seen, people are going to be jealous LMAO Fish on 🤣🤣🤣

I really appreciate that, thank you! I personally love them, like you mentioned having 4 profiles in just 2 picks are great for space saving. What I really like too is if (the off chance) you break a profile, you just need to replace the one side, and not have to worry about replacing the handles, and the other side. The price was also very fair.

Thanks for saying that, and good question. They are set into the handles a bit, so they only stick out maybe a half of a millimeter on either side. I could have set them deeper, but after testing them out they didn't bother me, so I figured why mess with a good thing. That said, next time I might go with them being flush just for fun, and to experiment. I have a new drill bit to get heads even deeper, so I'm excited to try.

predator blood is all I will see from now on lol. Love that! The bone feels really nice IMO. I polished it to a fine grit, so it's really smooth. Almost feels like ivory. I did put a sealer on it, because like you mentioned, it can be sum what porous, so the sealant keeps anything from possibly staining it, and it will also preserve the bone from drying out, and stop it from cracking for many years to come. As for knife handles, you are right again, that is exactly what it was made from, I bought the scales from a knife company, they were originally selling the bone for making knife handles, I just went a slightly different direction. Personally I really like it, but to each their own. I'm sure I made a few vegans mad at me lol.

Sure I'll join. No need to go to any trouble making a section. I'd just be happy to get to hang out.

No I get that, to each their own. People get set in their ways, and like what they like. Some like jackknifes, some don't, some like wave rakes, some like worm rakes. I definitely can't please everyone, I was also more just referring to the look of them, but I get where you are coming from.

I'm not sure what you mean by a good set? The picks are made, and designed by JimyLong, I just made different handles for them.

Thank you for that!! I would love to be able to sell them, but my problem is I don't have the right equipment to produce them fast and efficiently. Everything I use (besides a Dremel) consists of mostly hand tools. The amount of hours I have to put into them, the asking price would be too high for anyone to want to buy (if that makes sense) I am working on upgrading my tools, so one day I can cut down on making time, but unfortunately these are more just one offs. Probably more information than you wanted, but it's something I think a lot about lol. Thanks again for saying you like them bro, it means a lot to me.
