Default Entry for dumb question of the day award

So, I bought a bluechip pick. Cool. How do I hold it? With the insignia on the inside, (nearest the body) or facing the other way, on the outside. The edges are beveled, so I imagine there's a right way to hold it. -?

The ones I have all work either way.

Hold it each way, and look at the bevel. Should be present on both sides.

Hold it however it feels comfortable to you.

Depends. Did you get the left-handed or right-handed model?

With Bluechip there are such distinctions as right and left and they also make a line of picks (speed picks) where the bevel is different on one side versus the other. Visit their website.
I do not normally use picks but just read stuff on their website.
