Blue Ice says:
The Bluebird ice axe is the most versatile and robust in our range, designed for steep snow or ice slopes. Its 356g intended for the practice of classic alpinism offer very good anchoring qualities. Its aircraft-grade aluminum handle is sanded for better grip.
The tip and head of the axe are made of stainless steel and hot-forged with an anti-corrosion treatment, offering high resistance even with intensive use. It is assembled at the foot of the Mont Blanc.
