I have been looking at these recently and pretty much every one gives me sticker shock when I look at it. Can anyone give me an idea of why ice axes and ice tools are so expensive? Is it just that they are making them to high strength specifications?

Quality materials, plus the fact that these are specialized tools and they don't sell a huge quantity of them. So they have to make up the profit on cost instead of quantity. If you need them you need them, suck up the cost and get them. Also check out the Quark.
