Caring For Your Hawk Pick
Hawk picks are made from a material that has very similar properties to real Hawksbill turtle shell. As well as closely matching the tone of real tortoise shell, it’s hygroscopic so absorbs water.
It’s important to keep it away from washing machines or other sources of moisture as an adventure in one of these will most certainly ruin your treasured Hawk pick.
Like real tortoiseshell picks, when your pick has been used for long periods of time it will tend to start to follow the shape of your grip.
Simply flip it over to even out the shape.
