Those are good questions Aidan. That is part of the reason I sold mine to Ibex. When I sold them yes they were available but only if you specifically ordered them.
Now I got some Grivels. From what I understand they have been using the Cascade pick and hammer design I have for many years. I like to rely on a company that does not change things on me. Therefore reducing my chances of wanting to buy other tools because they phased mine out, or reduced the production. Another reason I am not gung ho for some of the BD stuff all the time.
I hope you can find some if you need them. I recommend buying a spare set of picks in case they stop making them. They can say "we will continue making them" but I dont believe it much. What happened to the BD Fin biners ?
