Product Description
The Raven's 17-4 investment-cast stainless steel head was designed with function and beauty in mind. Positive clearance pick tapers back to a wide head platform that's wasp-waisted with finger notches on either side for comfort and a secure grip. This also makes for fast, smooth hand rotation when going into a self-arrest. The classic curved adze is sharp as hell and chops steps, clears snow and blasts ice with ease. A sleek 7075-T6 pierced and drawn shaft cuts weight to a minimum without sacrificing strength. A 17-4 investment cast spike has two braking functions while glissading, a narrow profile for speed and a wide profile for shutting it down.
Bottom Line: The Raven is designed for all mountaineers and hikers who want an axe for safety, support and security.
