Description

Details

  • Overall length: 13.3″ (340 mm)
  • Weight: 3.98 lb (1.8 kg)
  • Head size: 4.72 × 1.5″ (120 × 40 mm)
  • Head: etched with the symbol of Odin, the Allfather (in the photos, a valknut of three interlocked triangles)
  • Handle: ash wood, carved with a depiction of Odin
  • Fully handmade
  • Made as a collector and display hammer and a gift for celebrations and milestones

Goibniu is the smith god of Irish myth; the Odin motifs on this hammer are what tie it to the Norse world. Odin is the Allfather of Norse myth, linked with wisdom, war and poetry. The three interlocked triangles known as the valknut carry a modern name, and no Viking-Age text explains them, so treat the symbol as a motif tied to Odin by association.
