ice blade

The ice blade was a double-ended blade that served as Kopaka Nuva's Toa tool before he acquired his adaptive armor.^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} Kopaka used it to channel and focus his elemental power of ice.^{6, 8} This long blade could easily cut through thick ice.^{5, 11} It could also be split apart and wielded as two separate blades^{12, 13} called power blades.⁵ These blades were strong and sharp enough to serve as climbing spikes for climbing ice walls, although they were not the most efficient climbing tools.¹³ The two blades could be attached to Kopaka's feet to form power ice skates^{3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 10} for fast travel over ice and snow.^{1, 2, 4, 5, 13}

Kopaka acquired the ice blade when he was transformed by energized protodermis into a Toa Nuva. Presumably, Kopaka's former ice sword was transformed by the energized protodermis into the ice blade.^CN Artakha later replaced Kopaka's armor and ice blade with adaptive armor and weaponry.¹⁴ It is unknown what became of the ice blade after this; it was apparently left with Artakha.

Notes

• The ice blade has also been referred to as a double-length ice blade³, a long blade⁵, double swords¹¹, and ice blades¹¹.
• The ice skates have been called power ice skates^{2, 3, 4, 13, 8}, power ice-skates⁶, ice skates^{9, 11}, skates^{1, 10}, and power skis⁷.
