Angantyr: tarnished distressed Thor's Hammer

Only 3 will be hand carved for this season.

A tarnished, distressed and pitted Mjolnir. Based on the Repton Hammer design. A one-off, handmade design that will not be repeated.

Angantyr the Berserker, son of Arngrim, one of 12 berserker brothers who spread fear and terror across the North.

Arngrim gifted Angantyr with the mythological sword Tyrfing, that could cut through anything as if through cloth, and was destined to kill each time it was unsheathed.

Angantyr died in a duel with the Swedish hero Hjalmar before his daughter, Hervör, was born. Hervör was no ordinary girl. She didn't take to sewing or weaving, instead she learned archery and swordsmanship and soon began to dress like a man, raiding and killing under her masculine pseudonym of Hjörvard. When she found out about her father’s identity, she was determined to live a Berserker life like he did and set her mind to get the legendary sword, Tyrfing.

She gathered her fleet and set sail to the island of Samø where her father and uncles were buried in burrows. However, she was the only one who would set foot on the island, as the rest of her crew was terrified by the activities in the grave mounds.

Unfazed by her crew’s cowardice, she pressed on towards the burials, where a fire-cloud could be seen shining, summoning her father and his 11 brothers. She proceeded to demand for the sword Tyrfing with such a loud voice and such harsh words that her father Angantyr soon appeared out of his burial mound in the shape of an undead Draugr.

He implored Hervör to let the sword rest, that her using it would doom their whole clan. Yet Hervör insisted. Finally, Angantyr cast the sword out of the mound, as it landed by Hervör's feet.
