So many new and well forged swords. All pulses aside, this is exciting on a hobby enthusiast level, and while he wants to have a look at the sword that he assumes was Eliot's as well, he also wants to see this third one properly. Especially if, which they'll just have to assume, it was Thorin's.
He takes it up but then steps back from the other two again to draw it,]
If you were a healer in dangerous times, or also worked on battlefields, it would have been prudent to take to the sword as well for self defense. Or you could only later have become a healer... or taken up the sword afterwards. We don't yet know how long their lives were, but dwarves at least grew older than humans.
