I like them. I'd like there to be a shorter hook but they are a good start. Maybe the triangle rake could have more of a point to it also. I like the reach/falle pick mostly. Not to mention the cut out handles. I bet these picks are light as hell. Id buy these picks.

I would gladly critique them, if someone were to send me a set.

They were selling them for $45 at DEF CON. They're nice, but they are rather thin. Not a problem for the pick end but not so comfortable as a handle.

At a glance, I really like what I see. They not only look nice, I'd imagine they're quite functional. With a shotgun at one end & a sniper rifle at the other, some obvious thought went into the pairing of these double-ended picks. For me, the most utilized pick out of this set would certainly be the hook/half-diamond combo. And personally, I've always liked thin metal handles.

Eventually, I'd like to branch out and try some other pick brands, but for now I seem to be stuck in my SouthOrd ways I guess.
$35 for this set would be better... but considering the organization and what they do for the hobby/sport... I'd happily pay $45 :)

They are light. Not for the heavy handed or a total beginner. I got one at the last DefCon we had in August.

i haven't used it yet though. I'm too scared of bending them so I might just frame it as a momento.

I got this set from LockCon, lovely set and a credit to Babak and the TOOOL US guys.

The design is well thought out and the pairings are good.
The hooks are good also and they are made from a high quality steel.

My criticism is to do with the finish, they come 'as etched' if they were finished it would be better.

Overall a good set.
