The Forrest Mjollnir was the first hammer with interchangable picks. Forrest designed this system in 1974. Forrest offered a nut pick, an alpine pick, a waterfall ice Sky pick, and atubular pick. These picks fit all versioins of the Mjollnir hammer but do NOT fit the Forrest Lifetime ice axes and hammers.

My Mjollnir has a curved hatchet-style handle, while my later Mjollnir IIIs have hammer-style handles.
