A pickaxe is a handy thing to have when you have to dig into the rocky or otherwise hard ground - turn the blade around and you have a chisel-like edge for cutting roots. When there's one guy with a pickaxe and one guy with a shovel, digging foxholes is a breeze! Try it!
You probably don't actually need a pickaxe in your everyday life, but you'll want this as a motivational wall hanger: scaling a mountain is sometimes hard using just your hands.
Made of steel and wood. Length about 50 cm / 19.5", weight 1.3 kg / 2.8 lbs.
Included is a very, very nice looking leather carrier which also has a handy belt loop to keep the pickaxe at reach all the time.
Genuine Swiss army kit
Old, used, in nice shape overall. However, we wouldn't really recommend taking this with you for the actual mountain climbing business. The pickaxes and the carriers are usually dirty after decades of storage (the carrier of the pictured example was dated 1943!), so some wiping and greasing will do wonders.

I put boot leather Nikwax on the leather sheath and it looks good as new. Really handy tool in the garden.
