From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Grivel Air Tech Evolution Ice Axe (Spring 2008) The Air Tech Evolution Ice Axe by Grivel is the new version of the famous Air Tech axe. The head, which is hot forged from a single piece of steel, has become an established alpine classic. The new shaft s gentle curve just below the head gives greater clearance and makes anchoring easier on any sort of terrain, whilst the lower straight part of the shaft will penetrate into snow with little effort. Also available with Slider, the new hand rest that slides to the top of the shaft when sunk in snow or to the bottom to support hand in traction. The huge success of the Air Tech Evo has encouraged us to create the perfect complement: an Air Tech with a hot forged hammer. The most advanced axe technology, all in under 500 grams! Both Axe and Hammer are the same weight."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Grivel Air Tech Evolution ice axe answers professional demands for a light, full-strength axe with technical features. The hot-forged chromoly steel head has T-rated strength and a thin (4mm) pick to easily penetrate hard ice. The clearance curve adapts to odd terrain features and protects your knuckles from the ice when your hand is choked up on the shaft. The T-rated extruded aluminum shaft is finished with a hot-forged steel spike that slices into hard snow. The Evo has a classical positive blade and a shovel, and comes with a long leash. Vendor"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Air Tech Evo answers professional demands for a light, full-strength mountaineering axe with technical features: hot-forged ChroMoly steel head has T-rated strength and a 4mm-thick pick to easily penetrate hard ice. The curve adds 1.5cm of clearance to adapt to odd terrain features, and protects the knuckles from the ice when choked-up on the shaft. The T-rated (400kg) shaft is finished with a hot-forged steel spike that slices into hard snow. Air Tech Evo is available with the Long Leash or the Slider (a sliding pommel that supports the fingers when using the axe in piolet traction positions but does not compromise easy penetration when driving the shaft into firm snow)."
