Switzerland Willisch Ice Axe
WILLISCH
Item: Vintage Wooden Ice Axe
This is a custom-made item, not a standard product.
This is one of six that I ordered together from Switzerland about 15 years ago through Koujitsu Sansou. Each one cost around 70,000 yen.
The total length was made to a sufficient 84cm.
Although this has not been used, there is some slight rust due to age, so I recommend a light polish.
I have another one of the same item, and if you wish, I can sell it to you for the same price.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
The product arrived earlier than expected, neatly packed and in perfect shape. It performs well and feels reliable.
