These are the picks I've been making for my own use, for years. They take so much time and energy to make, and I just love 'em, so I thought I'd see if anyone else might be interested.
Lemme know what ya think. Below, I put the whole description (from the original Ebay auction).
I'm only charging $9.95 each and 1.50 shipping for the total order. I couldn't charge what they really cost to make (due to the hours involved) but this amount allows me to keep making them.

You're looking at a handmade, stainless steel guitar pick, unlike any other you've seen before. I've combined the speed and attack of a stainless steel pick with the shape of a shred-lover's preferred weapon, “Dunlop Jazz III (registered trademark) “, and a drop-proof grip. These picks are hand crafted from .51mm stainless steel and are totally rigid while keeping a thin string-attacking surface. This allows for tighter picking technique, needing less travel to clear the string. The sharp point means more accurate pick strikes, and the 3 holes are positioned to give a sweat-proof grip and allowing you to keep the pick in exactly the position you need. They measure: 1" x 7/8".
The 2 main edges of the picks are polished to be as slick as glass and gentle on the strings. Every pick has its own unique features as they are not made by machines and computers. Vice-grips, grinders, wire wheels, sharpening stones, buffers and power drills all leave their own marks. This can add a bit of texture to improve the grip even more. These picks may not be pretty, but they do perform, flawlessly. That's all that matters.
I've been using these picks for more than 5 years, exclusively. I recorded my entire album (A Prelude To Tragedy's “Shadows of the Past”
as well as 25 instrumental songs and a 6 song country project, with these picks. They give me everything I need from a pick, and they never seem to wear out. I have made 140 of them, so I decided to spread the love around a bit. Those I'm selling are from the newest batch are are a bit more presentable than my first run.
To hear them in action, check out www.myspace.com/stevetheroostersorrell , www.myspace.com/srsgoinsouth and www.myspace.com/apreludetoreagedy777 . Every note of every song was played with a “Rooster Pick”.
