Pick shape is subjective, thickness is subjective... but for me, right now, this one is the absolute best Bluegrass flatpicker I've ever used. Don't think, just buy.

Love this pick. Highly versatile. It’s two picks in one. Rounded corner for mellow tone, sharper radius for attack. Just the right thickness.

Really great pics. Tried probably 20 different compositions, models and styles over the last year. They are less noisy across the strings. Easy to hold onto and with Picker's grip wonderfully grippy. Great bevel. Fast and accurate across the strings when alternate picking.
I like the 40 size. Tried the 100, 80, 60,40. Depends what I playing to a certain extent but 40 and 60 are my favorites right now.
Expensive but pics have now become "highly valued" and taken care of versus being almost a throw away previously.
The only other pic that I found comes close is the Martin Luxe.

The beauty of this pick is that the 1R affords you a second pick for the price of one. Use sharp or radius depending on the tone you want. Sharp for loud and punctuated, radius for a more mellowed tone. Also this is the perfect thickness for mandolin.

Feels just right for playing on my Taylor acoustic. The right balance and bevel, and not too stiff nor to pliant, like many other picks.

I purchased 5 different picks in shape and material and was amazed how much they each sound different. This pick brings out the best tone of my mando. The the rounded tip is quite mellow, and the other edges are super bright. I love it.

I love this pick. Just the right stiffness for my mandolins and bulletproof. The single radius choice is a bonus. I can use the bigger radius for subtle strumming and tremolo or I can use the sharper radius for more articulate playing and louder cutting tone. It’s two picks in one!

I've been using this pick everyday since I got it and... I love it. I've long been uncomfortable using other guitar picks, opting instead to use my fingers. My opinion was that for me, picks got in the way more than anything. They would slide around in my hand, click against the strings, and generally feel like a distraction to my playing.
With this pick I can hold it and I don't need to think about it. It stays put between my fingers and that lets me focus on the movement of my hand and not the thing I'm holding. The pick itself slides easily across the strings making very little clicking noise. Plus, I find the tone it makes very pleasing as well.
Many would consider $40 a lot to spend on a guitar pick and I would agree. But $40 for a pick that makes playing my guitar a more enjoyable experience, and maybe helps me play better in the process. I think that is absolutely worth it and I would definitely buy another if something happened to this one.

I have this pick in sizes 40, 50 and 60. These are my favorite picks. They have very little click. As you increase the thickness the sound gets fuller. I use all these and change them up to match the sound I'm looking for.

The best pick iv ever used. It stays put between my fingers and is slick across the strings picking and strumming hard. These blue chips puts the old traditional tortoise shell picks in the dust.
