How to get the right Krukonogi-Titanium Replacement Frontpoints?

First, let’s introduce the brand. Krukonogi-Titanium mostly design ice, mixed, drytooling and aid products. It's also one of the very few businesses that develop titanium and carbon fibre for climbing applications. If you follow UIAA Ice World Cup you have seen the art of Krukonogi-Titanium for sure. The Russian brand, from St- St-Petersburg, sponsor many top ice, mixed and drytooling athletes. When Krukonogi-Titanium is on the tree steps of a podium and their athletes won the overall World Cup standings for both men and women, it means something. The brand is renowned for its high strength spare pick and its high-performance ice tool optimized for World Cup and other big competitions.

The first letter in the name of the frontpoint represents the brand and the model of the crampons with which it is compatible. For example, the FL from the popular FL11(A) frontpoint means Frontpoint for Lynx (Petzl).

Here is a list of letter markings and the crampons they fit:
FM/FR - Krukonogi-Titanium Indoor TIAL, Outdoor, Air, Fire / Black Diamond Raptor / Petzl M10 / Raveltik Capoiera / Cassin Vector
FL - Petzl Lynx / D-Lynx
FC - Black Diamond Cyborg / Stinger
FGR4 - Grivel Rambo IV
FGR2/3 - Grivel Rambo II / III
FG - Grivel G14 / Racing
FK - Cassin (Kailand)
FS - Simond Vampire
FAS - AustriAlpine SkySteep

The number after the letters show the type of frontpoint:
11 - Ice
1 - Mixed / ALpine
2/21 - Competition frontpoints for plywood
3/31 - Competition frontpoints for plywood


The second digit 1 indicates double-sided sharpening. Frontpoint 1 is for mixed, and 11 is for ice.
Frontpoints 2 and 3 designed for plywood in the presence of double-sided sharpening become more sporty.

The difference between 2 and 3 is an additional spike in the back

The frontpoints of the R series for plywood have an improved geometry relative to the M series. The tip of the frontpoint is displaced upwards relative to the axis of attachment. This allows you to climb more efficiently on plywood

In brackets:
(A) - Armor steel (made of). This steel is one of the main reasons why their frontpoints are so praise. It's so damn hard! You definitively don't have to file the frontpoints as often as other brands and the lifespan is incredible. However, if you have to sharpen, I recommend a good diamond file otherwise it will be a very hard task.
