Check this out! I tried it on my buffed switchblade v-pick just now and it literally took me 10 seconds. My carpet isn't as course as that either so it should work!

WOW. This is CRAZY! I thought people were joking! Get something sharp and carve up a nice point on your pick wink.gif I still have to carve up my claytons but better yet BUY SOME POINTY/SHARPISH PICKS FOLKS! smile.gif

*P.S If the Switchblade/jazz/dunlop sharp isn't sharp enough, you can sharpen it a bit by shaving the edge with fine blade. I"ve done some of mine that way.

Dunlop Sharp
Jazz III
Jazz III XL
Best of all
V-Pick SWITCHBLADE (heck, any sharp V-pick will do ya!)

haha, I have your V-picks! When they get dull, I sharpen them - they're so good I need them to last as long as possible! smile.gif

I hear ya smile.gif The carpet does seem a tad unusual but it sounds like lots of folks do it that with good results so whatever works smile.gif I use a carving knife to sharpen picks and it creates a very edge. But it does involve using a sharp knife and you could accidently cut your fingers while trying to do it which would be really counterproductive. So stay safe, keep it on the carpet!

Are these V picks really that awesome?

The short answer is YES smile.gif But they aren't for everyone, some folks really don't like em. Some folks like different shapes than I use as well. I couldn't stand the triangle shape, but Christian (from here) loves em! They are worth a shot if you can try them smile.gif
