Durin's Axe

From Tolkien Gateway

Durin's Axe was a great heirloom of the Dwarves of Durin's folk. It was the axe of Durin I, founder of the Longbeards clan.

The axe remained in the Dwarven city of Khazad-dûm after it was deserted in the year 1981 of the Third Age. In 2989 it was found by Balin's expedition, but lost again in 2994, when his colony was destroyed.
