From Backcountry.com:
"Petzl created the 20oz Aztar Ice Tool for alpine climbers who need to cut weight without sacrificing performance on fast-and-light technical climbs. Its thin, 3mm pick (B-rated) provides excellent penetration on bullet-hard ice, and the hooked first tooth gives it excellent drytooling performance. The Aztar Ice Tool has a straight bottom shaft for plunging in soft snow and a curved upper shaft to clear ice bulges on the top of a steep pitch. This tool also comes with Petzl's Freelock leash the go-to choice for steep mountain routes."

Thin pick forged specifically for hard ice. Steep-angled first tooth for thin ice and small edges. Thin handle with elastomer insulation ensures an excellent grip. Hammer head is helpful in starting ice screw placement. Equipped with a freelock leash, which is tightened and loosened with a simple rotation of the wrist. 1 pound 6 ounces, 590 grams. 19.7 inches, 50 centimeters."

From REI:
"Ergonomically curved handle sits well in your hand with each throw. Fixed adze head chops steps and platforms. Freelock leash included. Interchangeable, forged-steel pick is shaped for optimal penetration in hard ice. Straighter shaft base and hard steel point work together to penetrate hard snow quickly when you're working on your French technique. The Aztar's versatile design keeps you swinging over steep glacier routes and hard waterfall ice. The shaft is curved at the top for easier hooking and precise, no-knuckle-bashing placements."
