I suffer from soft and thin nails on my picking hand. As I stated above, I use a nail strengthener to get them out to a length suitable for me to use Alaska Pics. I love the Alaska Pics, and have the brass and plastic. I usually file them to approximate the fingernail itself. This means that I take out a bit on the sides so that I get the same shape as the nail. I also buy them in a 20 pack and get a bit of a break on the cost. Kevin, I will bet you would like these picks.
