Unfortunately, counterfeit Mr. Li picks have become a significant issue. These fake picks are copied from Mr. Li’s hard work, poorly made with inferior material, and may break on your next critical job. They are also often accompanied by false verification labels, misleading you into thinking you are purchasing the real thing.

Here’s how you can protect yourself and make sure you're purchasing authentic Mr. Li picks:
