Detail 01
1.14 mm gauge
Thick end of medium-heavy. Almost no flex, so attack comes from your hand, not the pick bending.

- Fast downpicking on distorted rhythm parts
- Players who bend thin picks out of shape
- Keeping spares in one place in a gig bag

- Acoustic players chasing a soft, blended strum
- Anyone unsure of gauge — 1.14 mm is firm
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 picks per tin
Enough to lose several and still play. Picks disappear constantly, so buying one at a time gets old.
Detail 03
Tin packaging
Hard case keeps picks flat and findable in a gig bag instead of scattered at the bottom.
Detail 04
Black finish
Hard to spot if dropped on a dark stage or into a soundhole. Keep track of them.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01All six picks are the same 1.14 mm gauge — no variety pack
- 02Thick picks feel stiff at first if you play thinner gauges
- 03Tin costs more than the same six picks bagged
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between this and the plain 6-pack?
Same six 1.14 mm Black Fang picks. This version ships in a reusable tin; the bagged pack does not.
02Is 1.14 mm too thick for strumming?
It's stiff for strumming. Chords come out with more attack and less sweep. Strummers usually prefer something lighter.
03Are these good for lead playing?
Yes. The stiffness gives a consistent attack on single notes and keeps the tip from flexing on fast passages.
04How many picks do I get?
Six, all 1.14 mm.
