mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2015 The Mustad site doesn't list them. They do, however, show up on E-Bay ... which suggests to me that they are no longer in production. According to the E-bay auctions, they come in a whole range of sizes. Look on the E-bay site for pictures. Why do you want to know? Getting ready to buy some?
