these picks are great! bought a set a long time ago and lost some of them, including the 2 olive one, my favorite. perfect size for skewering an olive or onion, many of the glass or plastic variety are too thick to be practical. an added benefit is some of them "hook" on the rim of the glass, meaning they don't sink into the glass, a nice touch. anyway, i forgot where i bought the original set, and finally came across them on amazon, not sure why i didn't look there 1st. purchased 2 more sets. solidly made, you won't be disappointed. would make a great gift for your fellow cocktail lover.

Since we are both martini fans, I purchased these for my wife who had been looking for something other than the plastic picks that break so easily. Of all of the Christmas gifts that she received, (well....she didn't get all that many!) she was delighted with these. They are sturdy, can be used for hors d'oeuvres as well as drinks, and the 'martini-relative' designs are unique and have provided a source of conversation.

Very classy, heavy, solid martini picks. Folks will be able to find their own drinks at your party as well.

Not anywhere near kitschy enough for a good tiki drink though. Could you imagine a silver (well, pewter) pick skewering a maraschino cherry and a slice of orange hanging over the lip of a tall glass of red rum goodness? It would be wrong.

These picks have forever spoiled me! I don't think I can go back to using those plastic picks ever again! Both elegant and funky, but a little on the top-heavy side. Not a deal breaker, just an excuse to spear more olives!

Makes a great stocking stuffer, but even better if you keep them for yourself! ;p

I found these martini olive picks to be of good quality and I like that they are fun but still preserve that element of classic cool that a martini creates. The only downside to this arrangement is that there is no container or display for them and keeping them in the original package just won't cut it, so I ended up keeping mine in a tall shooter-style shot glass, which kind of keeps them handy and clean since you're not laying them down on something.

I got them since I thought they look different. We dont drink Martini but I still thought there would be some use for these lovely picks. These are exactly the same way they look or even better I would say.
They come in a classy black pack(can be preserved to keep the picks in place). They come in the perfect size and thickness. The designs are also lovely. My only concern is they are too sharp. It might not be safe to keep it when kids are around or even with drunk adults I would say. The material is pewter and is very similar to steel, so I am kind of hesitant to use it in a glass.
I plan to use them as starter picks rather!! Because there are extremely classy looking picks. Just make sure you use and keep them keep since they are kind of sharp!!

If you like martinis, either when serving or imbibing, there are several non-negotiables imo. Firstly, the taste must be to your liking, secondly the liquid should be ice cold (with no floating pieces of ice), and thirdly, it should have a good presentation. Unfortunately this does not always happen when you go out. If you value a nice presentation, these are for you. The picks are well made, perfectly sized and easy to clean. So far we have used them to skewer blackberries, raspberries, lemon slices and wedges, grapes, olives and chocolate truffles. They do not span across the rim of our glasses but rather dip into the glass with the point at the glass bottom and the top of the pick balanced on the rim.

All of our guests have commented on them-they appreciate that little bit of extra effort. And of course the drink tastes better : )

So unless you are popping a couple of olives in your mouth and swigging out of the bottle you may be interested in these. Highly recommended to add a little more fun to the evening.

I am VERY pleased with these picks. They are made out of high quality material, very heavy duty. They are long enough to fit 3 large blue cheese stuffed olives on. Love the look, feel, and design. Highly recommended! I have been looking for a long time for good martini picks, not just some flimsy plastic thing. These are great!!

Just a simple but annoying problem, one of the pick tops slid off into my hands when I opended the package. Not a big deal, but QC should be a bit better.

Since I gave these to my brother, a martini man, I have yet to try them myself. I can only say that in person they look great and are perfect for a guy (or woman). Very classy looking and I love pewter anyways (which the decorations on the top are, the stick part is stainless which makes sense). Recommend these!
