Good point, Allen. I just find it confusing because the whole pick world -- including Dunlop, the best and largest pick company in the world -- has gone metric.
BTW, in fabricating our own materials, I discovered the reason why: All machine shops and fabricators have stayed with the English system since time immemorial. Since Blue Chip started as a machine shop, not a pick manufacturer, this is the system they are familiar with and have always used.
Thanks for explaining that, Allen. I never actually understood their model numbering system.
