Demon Slayer Axe and Flail – Gyomei Himejima, Stone Hashira (Replica)

The only Nichirin that doesn't look like a blade

This replica of Gyomei Himejima's axe and flail, the Stone Hashira from Demon Slayer, features the most atypical weapon of the entire Demon Slayer Corps: a 37 cm axe head engraved with kanji, connected by a chain to a spiked ball. The entire set is molded from soft PU and rubber, with no actual sharp edge.

Key Features at a Glance

• Axe head is 37 cm, handle approx. 20 cm
• Spiked ball connected by a chain – both pieces are included
• Kanji engraved in relief on the handle and head
• Soft PU and rubber: non-piercing spikes, fake cutting edge
• Approx. 790 g, the heaviest item in the range

The man who cried while striking

Blind, gigantic, and perpetually in tears, Gyomei Himejima is presented as the strongest of the Hashira – and his weapon speaks for him. Where others seek a clean cut, he wields an axe and a flail connected by a chain, two masses he spins by the sheer force of the Stone Breathing technique. This style demands a power that no one else possesses: it is literally a weapon no other slayer could wield. The contrast between this brutality and the praying man who wields it defines the character.

What we love

• It's unlike anything else: in a display case of katanas, it catches the eye
• Both pieces are included, chain too – many replicas only provide the axe
• The surface grain imitates stone rather than polished metal
• Finally completes the Hashira collection, where Gyomei was missing

Is the spiked ball really included?
Yes. The replica of Gyomei Himejima's weapon includes the axe and the flail, connected by their chain. The spikes are made of soft PU and are not sharp.

Why doesn't the Stone Hashira have a katana?
Nichirin blades take the form that suits their wielder. Stone Breathing relies on brute strength, not cutting: Gyomei Himejima is the only slayer powerful enough to wield a chained axe and flail.

How much does this replica weigh?
About 790 g, compared to 200 g for the katanas in the range. It's the heaviest item in the section: pleasant to hold, but needs to be placed on a sturdy stand.

Is it dangerous?
No. Everything is made of soft PU and rubber, with no sharp edges or hard points. However, the flail is still a mass at the end of a chain: do not swing it indoors.

How to display it?
On a sufficiently wide sword stand, or laid flat with the flail coiled in front. Please note, no stand is included.

What is the recommended age?
From 14 years old.
