From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Grivel Quantum Tech Ice Axe (Spring 2008) The Quantum Techby Grivelhas the same geometry as the Matrix Tech but the shaft is made from carbon composite material. The B-rated shaft, which offers TaaKoon-like clearance to wrap around the most defiant ice mushrooms, places the wrist in a neutral position on vertical and overhanging pitches. Quantum Tech features the same replaceable, hot-forged ChroMoly steel head as Matrix Tech. The head is available with an adze, or a hammer. The tool weighs in at 520g. It is designed to be used without a leash. Hand support is provided by a comfortable injection-molded pommel, which is tipped with a tungsten carbide spike to provide stability and traction in the piolet canne position. The Trigger may be attached to distribute the load and offer more precise control.Carbon is only cool if it s lighter than a similar alloy product. Quantum Tech is lighter than its alloy cunterpart, vibration is dampened, it doesn t conduct temperature as efficiently. In short, Quantum Tech is cool.Features: BLADE Positive, radical MATERIALS ChroMoly CONSTRUCTION Hot-forged head, Carbon Composite shaft RANGE OF USE Sport-mixed ClimbingSIZE(cm)50 WEIGHT(g) 520"

From Backcountry.com:
"Grivel constructed the Quantum Tech Ice Tool with a carbon composite shaft to decrease weight and reduce ice-shattering vibrations for more one-swing sticks. At only 18oz, the Quantum Tech makes other ice tools seem like they're made out of iron. Whether you take on a steep pitch of ice or attempt a large alpine face, the Quantum Tech Ice Tool stands up to the abuse with its burly hot-forged X Monster pick. A large pommel on the bottom of the grip lets you run leashless with this Grivel tool, and a clipping hole accepts your tethers, so you never have to watch the Quantum fall from 20 pitches up a mountain."
