From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Grivel Taa-K-Oon Ice Tool (Fall 2007) The Taa-K-Oon by Grivel, originally designed as a dry-tooling specific tool, immediately won its place on the steepest waterfalls and hardest alpine routes in Europe. Grivel s top ambassadors (Christophe Profit, Ezio Marlier, Bubu (Bole), Manu Ibarra, Jerome Blanc-Gras, Stevie Haston, and Erhard Loretan all agreed that it was THE choice in the Grivel line for the hardest pure ice and alpine conditions. Clearance in the upper shaft area is the same (22cm) as Top Wing, Tech Wing (which Taa-K-oon replaces) or Racing Wing while the lower dogleg curve places the hand further from the ice (or rock), providing more overall clearance than any other Grivel tool. The Horn (pommel) and trigger are removable to use Taa-K-Oon as an alpine tool, and the spike is ChroMoly steel to stab easily into ice or drive through hard snow. Choose (3.5mm) Cascade pick for high performance on ice or Mixte pick for strength and durability while dry-tooling. (Taa-K-Oon is a patois word used to describe a strong wind the blows from the mountains and knocks down all the trees) Specs & Tech: Blade: interchangeable Materials: ChroMoly steel Construction: hot-forged head CE - Shaft Resistance: 400 kg T"

From EMS:
"Grivel developed this generation of ice tool specifically for technical climbing on all of the world's mountains. The deep clearance curve cheats past radical terrain barriers without levering the pick out of the ice. The Taa-k-oon is a must-have for leashless climbing. Shaft is covered with a new nonslip grip material. Handle made of pure silicone. Adjustable trigger distributes weight onto the strongest finger. Ergonomic horn supports the hand, protecting it from violent blows against the wall. Horn can be detached when a completely free spike is requested. Weight: 25.75 ounces; shaft: 50 centimeters."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Grivel Taakoon with No LeashGrivel developed this generation of ice tool specifically for technical climbing on all of the world’s mountains. The deep clearance curve cheats past radical terrain barriers without levering the pick out of the ice. The shaft is covered with a new non-slip grip material, handle made of pure silicone. An adjustable “trigger” distributes weight onto the strongest finger and the ergonomic “Horn” supports the hand, protecting it from violent blows against the wall. It also is a safe and balanced support for the ice axe against ice. The Horn can be detached when a completely free spike is requested. The first tool tested on the new winter 2003/2004 game: the “total dry”. The Taa-k-oon is a must have for “leashless” climbing."
