A word about Strum-N-Comfort and the various product names & "Crossover Pick" models!
Note that all of the comfortable thumb pick designs are generically called "Crossover Picks". The idea is that the Crossover Pick is gear positioned in between a flat pick and thumb pick. SharkTooth & Kodiak are Crossover Pick product trade names.
Strum-N-Comfort is our company name and we design & market a range of musical accessories, including a selection of flat picks, natural agate stone picks and music theme jewelry.
The products have designated models, some with their own sub names like "ST Traditional" & "ST Super Hybrid". The Crossover Picks evolved by working with musicians over the last 20 years. The two primary SharkTooth product models vary in design and includes a pearl celluloid material flat pick. Neoprene is the strap textile material used in the SharkTooth line. Neoprene stretches a bit, fits all thumb sizes, is highly functional and is very comfortable.
The Kodiak uses a non-stretch nylon material, shaped to be less bulky, along with a Delrin polymer material for the flat pick.
I also make the popular Justin Johnson signature Crossover thumb pick. The Justin Johnson signature model is based on the Kodiak product. However, the JJ model uses a third type of polymer for the flat pick - in a black color. Polymer material is much more durable than celluloid and features a different tone as well. You can only get the JJ model from the private JJ Etsy store.
