From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Omega Pacific Mountain Axe (Fall 2009) The Mountain Axe by Omega Pacific is great for chopping steps, building snow anchors or bollards, performing boot/axe belays and, of course, self-arresting. Our axe is built from laser-cut NiCrMo, Tig-welded heads, spikes, and aircraft-quality 6061 T6 aluminum alloy. Built to take a beating, this axe is no beast. However, at under 22 oz., you'll barely notice when it's lashed to your pack.Specs: Head Material: 4130 CrMo Handle Material: 6000-Series AluminumLength - Weight (grams/ounces): 60 - 622 / 22 65 - 643 / 23 70 - 665 / 23.4 75 - 686 / 24.2 80 - 707 / 25"

From GearX.com:

From REI:
"Head is constructed from laser-cut 4130 CrMo for exceptional durability. Shaft is made of 6061 T6 aluminum for weight savings without loss of strength. Special buy. Spike end plunges easily into hard-packed ice and snow. This ice axe has a solid design that's ideal for chopping steps, building snow anchors and self-arresting."

"Very sturdy ice axe. I bought the 80CM one to use as a cane in moderate to steep climbing. I sharpened the spike and pick with a file, that's the only modification I made. I may put some friction tape on the handle, I have done that on my other axes, and it helps.

I have a Black Diamond ice axe and this one compares favorably. I am very happy with my purchase."
