<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Born2it, post: 4468152, member: 59977&quot;]How big are they? I had picks with tines as long as the handles, or longer, but they were usually no longer than an average comb with a handle.&nbsp; That said, people who wore their fancy picks in their big Afros as a fashion statement (and because where the heck do you put them otherwise) often had picks 9 inches long, and sometimes longer.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the pointyness (or lack thereof) trust me, when they have metal tines, those things are dangerous enough without points! Very suitable for personal defense.&nbsp; Which cops definitely noticed, so pointy ends on metal tines were dangerous in several ways, so (to the best of my recollection) not that common.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the OP’s items would not be very comfortable to hold when using as a scraper, but I remember people using picks as scrapers, and I know at least one person who got in trouble for using a scraper as a pick, so I don’t know what the intended purpose of these might be, or how they may have been used.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Where did they come from?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
