Howdy
Just picked up a new BD Viper at an auction. I noticed that the pick is not in line with the handle. Are Vipers right and left hand specific?

God Bless

Vipers are NOT hand specific. They are also made for dry tooling (matching hands and stuff) so it wouldn´t make sense to have one left and the other right. Sounds like the pick have been bend from jamming in a crack. Were they used?
