1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A dozen .88mm Delrin sharkfin picks. The multiple edges — pointed tip plus ridged sides — let you switch between clean picking and a raked, scratchy attack.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want a rippled edge for scraping across strings
- Anyone needing a pick that survives hard playing without wearing down
- Players who want both a sharp point and a wide strum edge
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who prefer one simple, predictable playing edge
- Anyone wanting celluloid's warmer, softer attack
- Players with a light touch who won't use the extra edges
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
.88 mm thickness
Medium. In stiffer Delrin it plays firmer than .88mm celluloid would.
Detail 03
Sharkfin shape
One pointed tip for lead work, a serrated edge for string scrapes, and a broader edge for strumming.
Detail 04
Ridged edge
Drag it across a wound string for a scratchy, percussive effect celluloid picks can't produce.
Detail 05
Green color
Cosmetic only. Easier to spot than black picks on a dark stage.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01The irregular shape takes adjustment if you've only played teardrops
- 02Delrin is slick — no grip texture or hole on the surface
- 03Ridged edges will wear strings faster if you scrape often
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the sharkfin shape actually for?
Multiple working edges on one pick: a point for single notes, a rippled edge for scrapes, and a wider curve for strumming — no need to swap picks.
02How is Delrin different from celluloid?
Delrin is harder and lasts noticeably longer, with a slicker surface and a brighter, more consistent attack. Celluloid is warmer and wears faster.
03Does the ridged edge damage strings?
Scraping any pick along a wound string causes wear. Frequent scraping with a ridged edge will shorten string life.
04Is .88mm the same feel as .88mm celluloid?
No. Delrin is a stiffer material, so a .88mm Delrin pick flexes less and feels firmer than .88mm celluloid.
