    Gimli's Axe

    Hey, here's a pic of a replica of Gimli's axe
    Cool beans
    I hardly get to see Gimli's axe around, only lots of swords...

    Actually, it doesn't really look like the one he had in the movie, but it was under the replicas section for some website and the price was stated... can't remember what it was though. Could it be the one that he striked the ring with at the council and it broke?

    It looks like this one...

    'This is the Window of the Sunset, fairest of all the falls of Ithilien, land of many fountains.' - Faramir
    The Elendilmir of the West could not be quenched, and suddenly it blazed forth red and wrathful as a burning star. Men and Orcs gave way in fear; and Isildur, drawing a hood over his head vanished into the night.

    Actually, this the axe that Gimli uses predominately in TTT. Especially at HD.

    One warning tho. I've heard not so good things about this particular reproduction and its quality.

    Oh yes I think that's the one, Ithielnor.
    What kind of 'not so good things', Voroturion?

    Like it falling apart very easily.

    Anyone knows the name of Gimli's Axe?

    I haven't got the faintest idea but I think "Mother of all axes" sounds kinda cool
    But seriously I don't think it's got a name. But since he finds it in Moria maybe it's just "Moria axe"

    Heh, "Shards of The Axe." I don't think Gimli's axe has an official name. But dwarves honor their weapons like comrades so I'm sure it seemed like he talked about it as if it had a name. Just a thought.

    Very simple: Gimil's Battle Axe (This was the name on the DVD as well in LOTR TCG )

    Is the noble collection axe an official replica?

    Yes, they are licensed to make official reproductions.

    However I'd heard many complain that their Gimli's axe reproduction is of poor quality.
