Wicked Piolet
James C Watts: 
This axe has every feature I wanted: T Rated shaft for confident stomper belays, hot forged head for strength (and sexiness!), and a shaft profile that works well for everything from flat-land walking to steep, hard ice. Bonuses: Stupid light weight, typical excellent Grivel quality (and swanky trademark yellow), feels good in the hand, and a very functional long style leash included. What's not to like?
Light and durable
Explorations:
I have used it over two dozen times and it shows only minimal signs of wear. Plunges and swings nicely and the shaft bend is handy on ice. Works well on steep alpine ice. (I have used a pair of them on a 70 degree ice slope and had no funny feelings about it.) The pick comes already sharpened, unlike some other axes.
very good
goatboy_k:
my first axe, so not much to compare to other than what i've seen in the stores. Bombproof and lightweight compared to others. Solid forged head is visually stronger than others. I bought this for its weight and full "T" rating and so far has been great.
