In reply to Tarquell:

No! Don't even consider it! You'll almost certainly die and may likely cause the death of scores of innocents also by your incorrect pick choice.
Less Daily Mail-esque: until perhaps a decade ago, lots of tools only had one type of pick. Actually snapping picks seems quite hard, you can bend them sometimes, one of my Quarks had for years a slight bend in its pick, even for ice climbing it didn't seem to make any difference. Overall I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure the blades they come with will be great, and if you insist on torquing up some tech 9 knife blade crack, worst case scenario you bend a blade and then buy a new one.
