AlasKa aLaska Pik's™ plastic and brass picks can be manicured to precise length: (Plastic) use clippers, then file. (Brass) use file or grinder. To manicure, place pick securely "Over the finger, Under the nail," decide the length desired, then clip and file. For a side of the fingernail attack remove plastic at indicator #1. 2) To match the curvature of the user's flesh under the nail area, file on the backside of picking surface (indicator #2). This adds security. This should be done before changing length. 3) To un-stiffen pick remove all or part of the pressure band (indicator #3). For added comfort file smooth all uncomfortable edges. The brass pressure band should be bent inward. This creates tension on top of the fingernail (indicator #3). |

National NP2 Recently re-introduced was the return of an American favorite, the NP2 metal fingerpick - an exact production of the original National® fingerpick. In 1930, the United States government issued a patent for this fingerpick, which became the fingerpick all others would copy. Proudly etched on the pick’s face are the National® logo, the original patent number, the U.S.A. make, and NP2 model number for easy identification. The NP2 is made in America from the best nickel silver available, providing a smooth, comfortable, and fully adjustable fit, as well as a brilliant, vintage-American sound. Available in packages of 4 picks or 12 picks. |

Sammy Shelor
Stainless Steel Fingerpicks Sold in pairs and packaged in an attractive plastic jewel box. Many folks wrongly presume that the wider bands would only work for larger fingers, but this is not the case. Since they grip farther back on the finger - where the finger is wider - they will fit comfortably on all but the tiniest of hands. The added stability that comes from the pick sitting back like this is a great bonus and is perhaps the chief feature that led Sammy to want to see these picks produced commercially. He really believes in this design!
Single gauge only. Available in wide or narrow band. |
