Detail 01
1.14 mm gauge
Stiff. The pick holds its shape through the stroke, so your picking hand controls dynamics entirely.

DunlopBlack Fang Pick - 6 Pack 1.14 mm
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Six-pack of 1.14 mm Dunlop Black Fang picks, James Hetfield's signature shape. Bagged rather than tinned, for players who want stiff picks cheaply.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restocking a gauge you already know you like
- Fast downpicked rhythm work on electric
- Buying picks by the handful without paying for packaging
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light strummers who want the pick to flex
- Players still figuring out their preferred gauge
- Anyone wanting a container to keep them in
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
Six per pack
Covers a few months of normal loss for most players. Picks vanish faster than you expect.
Detail 03
No tin
Cheaper than the tinned version of the same picks. You'll need somewhere to keep them.
Detail 04
Black finish
Disappears against dark stage floors and pickguards. Losing one mid-set means finding it later.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No storage case included — picks come loose in packaging
- 02Every pick is 1.14 mm; try a single first if unsure
- 03Same picks as the tin version, minus the container
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the same pick as the tin version?
Yes — six 1.14 mm Black Fang picks either way. The only difference is packaging and price.
02Does 1.14 mm count as heavy?
It sits in heavy territory. Noticeably stiffer than a 0.88 mm medium, with almost no bend under normal picking.
03Will these work on acoustic?
They will, but a stiff pick pushes an acoustic toward attack over blend. Lighter gauges suit strumming better.
04Why buy six instead of one?
Picks get lost. Buying a pack means you're not hunting for one before a rehearsal.
