Aragorn's Weapon

Nah, the only thing he gets in Lorien in a fancy scabbard for Anduril. would have been cool tho...

If anyone thinks this might pertain to the bow thing, from "The Return of the King" - chapter, 'The Passing of the Grey Company':

A little apart the Rangers sat, silent, in an ordered company, armed with spear and bow and sword.

I suspect that Aragorn would have been proficient in all those weapons himself.

When he set out from Rivendell with only Anduril, I think it was more to make a statement about the re-forging of Elendil's ancient weapon than to show that he was not adept with anything else.

I suspect he also had a knife, which is just basic equipment when you're out in the wilderness - much better for cleaning fish, dressing meat, dozens of other functions. Some have said that if they could only have two things if stranded on a deserted island (dream date of oneself aside), they would choose a knife and a rope. If only one thing - a knife (which could help you make the rope).

So you would agree that it was an essential of a traveler tool and not a wepon.

Oh yes.

COULD be used as a weapon too, if need be.

ok, but so could anything be used as a wepon. its just a matter of efficiency

Aragorn proved that sticks and fire make a pretty efficient weapon too. . .
