Gimli’s Battle Axe

December 30, 2008

Gimli, of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, a noble dwarf of the Longbeards and son of Gloin, was of the most important kind of dwarves. A true hero and friend to the elves, Gimli is known to be both dauntless and loyal. Gimli was a skilled fighter who befriended Frodo Baggins. They joined together, amongst others, on the quests to the Lonely Mountain and also to destroy the One Ring.

Battle Axe is the primary weapon of Dwarves. Its shape and appearance identified that Gimli is a member of a particular tribe. Gimli’s Battle Axe was retrieved by him at the Mines of Moria. It was once owned by the Dwarf-lord. This two-handed axe was his pride and joy, (as well his beard).

Gimli’s matchless axe was created for two-handed combat, making it easy to rapidly swing in either direction. This has enabled him to ferociously slice through the flesh of many orcs, trolls, goblins, and wargs. He also carries his Walking Axe, Bearded axe, and two Throwing Axes.
