Standard Models

The Kris

The 'Kris' is the smallest Zen pick available at 22 mm wide and 30 mm in length. Similar in size to a Jazz III pick but slightly longer for better control and articulation. 

The Kukri

The 'Kukri' is very similar in size to a  Jazz III XL 25 mm x 30 mm. The same length as the 'Kris' but with a little added width to aid grip.

The Katana

'The Katana' is just fractionally longer than the 'Kukri' at 32 mm in length but is the same width at 25 mm. The higher waist and shallower radius on the top edge allows for a sharper, more defined point

The Kalis

The 'Kalis' ​is a classic triangular shape designed in the 1920s and known as a 346. Quite often favoured by bass players and those with larger hands, these picks have three tips ...and consequently some would suggest last three times longer.

Relative Sizes

Tip, bevel and finish Options

The four available Zen Pick shapes can transformed into completely different tools by adjusting the carve. There are three types of bevel available...light, medium and sharp.
The Light Bevel just gently dresses the circumference of the pick whilst retaining full thickness around the edges. Medium Bevel is more traditional finish, curved around the edges and smooth to the touch, like a well worn pebble. The Sharp Bevel is angular like a knife blade and gives a distinct sharp edge and the impression of a smaller grip area with a more incisive attack.
Each pick can then also have the choice of either a beveled or honed finish to the tip, and whether to retain the sharp point or have a more worn in rounded point.
​Right or left hand 'wear' bevels are available by request on any new orders, or any of the picks already available in the shop at no extra charge.
All picks in both the 'Heavy Repping' and 'Etsy' shop have the option of Matt or Polished finish.
