Dying Race: Depends heavily on the setting and the edition. As such, several editions also give dwarf characters free weapon proficiency with at least some types of hammer, just as they do with the axes. Drop the Hammer: Hammers, from the two-handed warhammer to a single-handed throwing hammer, are the other iconic "cultural" weapon of dwarfdom. 
Because of this, a dwarf will trust a member of their clan with their lives, even if they've never met before, but will in turn be slow to trust anyone beyond their clan. While all members of a clan aren't directly related by blood, they consider each other extended family and are highly protective of each other.
The Clan: Dwarves live in clans, each inhabiting a citadel (sometimes multiple clans in one citadel, though those clans are usually ofshoots of the citadel's chief clan). Female dwarves (normally) lack the beard, but they're just as badass on average. Badass Beard: This is the standard for male dwarves. An Axe to Grind: Battleaxes and handaxes are the most iconic "cultural" weapon of dwarfdom, to the point that not only have various settings/editions given them unique axe-based weaponry, but several editions give dwarf characters free weapon proficiency with axes, to represent how widespread training with axes is for dwarves. Absurdly Low Level Cap: Original Edition and AD&D First Edition put a hamper on how high of a level dwarves could have in their allowed classes, save for the Thief class, which they didn't have a level cap in. Doughty warriors and expert smiths who favor mountainous or cavernous environments, dwarves are strongly associated with their love of producing beautiful jewelry and masterful metalwork.
