stumpy hook from knife

Made up this small stumpy hook from a steak knife....I like the smaller blade lengths as the pick feels stronger and I get more feedback...Had a load of success with it today and posted 3 vids of some heavyweight padlocks picked with it. I'm crap at making handles so this was the next best thing for me...

Not bad at all... it's hard to find the quality steel knives around where I live that most people make picks out of on here so I picked up a few packs of cheap dollar store knives and tried the same thing not too long ago.. I had to narrow them down quite a bit, but I still have them and they worked pretty decent. This one looks like it does a great job too.. I always love seeing other peoples creations. Well done, man
:hbg:
