Pickaxe

The Pickaxe pipe shape is often associated with the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings". Indeed, Tolkien's dwarves (Bilbo the Hobbit or Gimli) smoke this kind of pipe, that they made themselves. Concretely, the Pickaxe pipe distinguishes iteslf by its triangular silhouette (with a pointy base) and a shank that starts in the middle of the bowl (and not at the bottom like in most cases). It is also sometimes called a Tomahawk shape, and can remind the shape of an upside down pointy hat (if you have a little bit of imagination). This style of pipe is difficult to create because it asks for a considerable amount of handmade work, as well as an extremely difficult polishing. On www.pipe.fr, we have the chance to propose you rare Pickaxe models made by the great Pierre Morel, Joseph Rimbaud (with his Rostiak pipes), not forgetting the essential Gilg The Shire pipe which is obviously in this spirit.
