I looked up the stats on my ice axe, here:

http://www.trango.com/showitem.cfm?catnum=27&itemnum=165&parentcatnum=0

The manufacturer (trango) lists the weight at 400 grams for the 70 cm
size axe (mine is one size smaller) The list price is $74.95, but I got
mine for $35 at Next Adventure in Portland, OR.
