I thought this was very cool.

It looks like it bevels the edges from the picture but I doubt it.

  My Grandson got one for Christmas and we were pulling out every old credit card and punching picks. It does leave kind of a rough edge that needs to be finished to smooth off the edges. Very handy for someone who looses a lot of picks. I'm very carefull to keep up with my favorite fender mediums, so just a few last me for years.
  I can almost live off what my grandson looses when he comes to visit.  :l2:   Platefire

About 15 years ago, I bought a gross of White Fender Extra Heavies (extra heavy for the tone, white so I can find them when I drop them).  Then I lost about a two thirds of them, and bought another gross.  Then I found the first batch.  I'd still got about two thirds of them, so I doubt I'll ever need picks again.
