Is it CE or UIAA tested? I highly doubt the strength of such a compromised shaft.

Why? Do you have some kind of expertise in metallurgy or ice tool design? Have you seen the video of Ramon cranking M11 at White Goods with his? If you haven't, here's a spoiler - they don't break.

Bloody strong, I can tell you that. Watch this video if you are not convinced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhaxV3gTVHs&list=UUA1zYZe6SsX5l1B5svx-AsA

Ok, how about instead of replying aggressively with simply anecdotal evidence, you show me some demonstrable proof of it's strength? I'm quite happy to be shown my doubts are completely unfounded as that design does look very interesting and functional. That being said however, when in a spec list it doesn't mention the almost universal rating given to gear to inform climbers what can be expected of it, and the design is vastly different to most modern T-rated axes with very thin joints and huge holes in the shaft, I don't think it's unreasonable to question the specifics of a piece of gear that may serve as a lifesaver. But well, if it looks strong to you I'll definitely rely on it with my life.

Nice climbing mate, I think your biceps have a much more likely chance of breaking an axe than mine!
