Battle Axe of Gimli
With over 100 million copies sold in over 40 languages, millions have grown up with “The Lord of the Rings,” the classic epic tale considered by millions to be the greatest fantasy-adventure story ever told. J.R.R. Tolkien’s phenomenal epic trilogy chronicles the struggle between good and evil for possession of a magical ring. The book trilogy, named the most popular book of the 20th Century, is the motion picture event of the 21st Century. “The Lord of the Rings” is presented in a trilogy of feature films from New Line Cinema, beginning with the blockbuster “The Fellowship of the Ring,” and continuing with the 2nd film, “The Two Towers,”. A work of sheer invention on a staggering scale, “The Lord of the Rings” takes us back to “Middle-earth,” an era that predates written history, where humans share the world with immortal elves, powerful wizards, and industrious dwarves.
Known primarily for their innate abilities to smith metal and stone, Dwarves are proud and strong-willed, ready for battle at a moment's notice. Like many dwarves, Gimli, son of Gloin, favors the axe as his primary weapon. Accompanying his father to the Council of Elron at Rivendale, Gimli is chosen to represent the Dwarves in the Fellowship of the Ring. after the Fellowship becomes separated, Gimli fights valiantly alongside Legolas and Aragorn from the Battle of Helms Deep to the Black gates of Mordor. With his unshakable determination for success, he proves to be a valuable aid to the Fellowship. In Moria, after a cave troll destroys the tomb of his forefather, Balin, Gimli is able to retrieve the mighty two-handed Battle Axe for all close combat. Prepared for as many different situations as possible, he carried the Battle Axe with him, along with his Walking Axe, Bearded Axe, and two throwing axes. The massive head of this Battle Axe could be swung in both directions, making it a good choice for rapid moving combat.
