Probably not a mountaineering tool; the blade edge would have to be perpendicular, rather than parallel to the shaft, for cutting steps in the ice.

Hello,

I can't say i have seen other similar axe but i have seen many nonstandard designs of axes and 99% of them where axes related with firefighters, the blade on that one is very similar with vintage firefighers axes i have seen, the hole can as said ealier used to tie a rope or used to fit a object....

It will be interesting to discover another similar and really confirm or not my theory.

Regards,

BV
