I bought this for a bike/climbing tour to Patagonia last winter. It has been used very little. I forgot to take a picture of the tip, but it is in factory condition. There are some cosmetic scratches on the handle. I love the axe and it is incredibly functional, but I already have a Petzl 68 cm axe and I want to get this one in the 50 cm version. Great axe. $115 including shipping
