[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 585200, member: 13321"] Well, I hadn't thought of that. It's one of Blue Jeans Ronny's picks, which I think from memory he once said was made from a leaf spring off of a Scania truck or something similar. I'm sure it was Ronnie who said in a post once that you should never sharpen the pick, but honestly I can't see how it can go on being effective season after season, year after year, if it doesn't have a keen edge put back on it once in a while? I've still got a little arc welder, so I guess if over the next few years it wears/grinds down too much I'll buy some hardfacing rods and build it up again. Thanks for the tips guys [/QUOTE]
