At a glance:

• Strong: 6061-T6 hard-anodized, lightweight aluminum with TIG-welded blade/shaft interface, and neckless blade design for maximum durability.
• Aggressive: The blade’s traditional flat chopping face delivers a stable strike, while its serrated leading edge breaks up snow and ice.
• Fast Deployment: Two-section, non-rotational telescoping shaft and fast lock-pin provide rapid, hassle-free deployment.
• Ergonomic: Meticulously engineered handles optimize comfort, control and leverage with all glove types to minimize hand fatigue.
• Versatile: The shaft’s upper section fits equally well into the blade, allowing you to choose the shovel length you need. The blade’s flat back shaves smooth snow pit walls or offers a platform for stoves.
