The name of this pick is not "Alaska", but "A-Laska".

I've tried them for frailing/clawhammer, and they were useless. The frailing/clawhammer stroke pulls them off the finger.

The points were too long for me. The instructions say you can cut them back with fingernail clippers, but I found it not to be so. The contour in the around-the-finger direction combined with the contour in the protruding-from-the-finger direction always forced the pick away from the fingernail clipper (or vice-versa).
