In reply to humptydumpty:
I've got the axe and it's great as a running axe or as a lightweight second, on those days when you need to make a decision as to whether or not another axe is worth it. It only weighs 200g, so you can just throw it in. I've got mine strapped to my bag right now, as a backup for a Grivel AirTech Evo, for a weekend away.
I've not used the shovel, but I've handled it in many shops. It's easily as heavy and durable as some other metal blades on the shelf, and would perform quite a lot better than some of the other lightweight options. I'll definitely be investing in the blade when I've got a bit of pocket money.
