"Good but room for improvement" 05/06/13

The Sabretooth crampons are super solid, definitely a good buy. Versatile, all around crampon with a few minor flaws. The little adjustment screw in the back freezes easily, and is hard to adjust with gloves. Also, the two little metal pins in the front are a little too narrow for big plastic boots / skiing boots. It still works but they might slip out when front pointing. Overall, very recommended.

"Decent crampons" 04/05/13

Points seem to wear out faster than the normal cromolly steel ones. Rear adjustment knob also difficult to adjust if wearing gloves. Strap tends to fray after awhile. However, got them at a sale - so no complaints! They work fine!

"Quality made in USA" 07/30/12

"Great all-around crampons" 06/06/12

These are great for all-around mountaineering and are usable for technical ice climbing, but not ideal. I chose the clip version instead of the heel/toe bail because it's more versatile and delivers pretty much the same amount of locked-in fit. The sizing is easy to adjust and the ABS plates work well in everything but deeper wet snow, in which case you can kick step without anyways.

"Black Diamond Crampons are awesome." 11/07/11

I haven't used these yet (we just dipped below the sixties in Arizona...), but I tried them on and they appear to be really snug. I was concerned about getting the 'clip' type of crampon as I didn't want them to be sliding around, but it appears that this won't be a problem. But, like the 'Experience Level with this product' indicates, listening to me may not be super valuable. Remember that free advice is worth what you paid for it.

"Durable, dependable and light" 11/04/11

My go to crampon for snow and ice alpine route in the Cascades. They perform very well in both hard conditions and slush. The abs plates function well and help with grip on rock as well. I have never had trouble changing sizes from ski boots to climbing boots and the crampons have never come off or even twisted once. Have even used them in M3 climbing and they performed satisfactorily. Very versatile.

"Solid and durable" 10/20/11

Some internet reviews have pointed out that the usage of stainless steel is gimmicky as it is actually less strong than cromolly steel. However, i have used these crampons for one year and they are going pretty good. Feel pretty solid

"Calms the nerves" 06/11/10

Great all around crampon. Lots of good things have been said about the BD Sabretooth crampons so I'll add what I haven't already read. Gives you peace of mind that you won't slip and tumble down the mountain. Straps are initially long so you can cut it to fit your boot. Having so many points gives it the versatility for different situations. Stainless steel is solid even for going on exposed rock. The orange on the bottom of the antiball plates makes for great photos from under.

"Narley" 05/11/10

These things make you feel like spiderman on ice! Very well built, while training I was caught on an 40 degree slope with 55 mph winds, did not blow off. I used them on Mt. Hood and Mt. Rainier. Many more adventures to come.
