Description My newest Mjolnir, made after I lost my first one in the ocean Those are REAL bear claws from a black bear. Thank you to my friend (you know who you are!) for supplying them to me! I should mention that those claws were taken from a bear that was killed from about 10m away...with a bow. How's that for manly?
The addition of these bear claws have more than a aesthetic purpose, they also represent a blend of Finnish paganism to the Norse pagan traditions, as the Finns saw the bear as a very holy animal (with very good reasons, bears are uncanily human like in many ways).
Anyways, I am proud to wear the claws on my new Mjolnir!

Cool, are you aware that one of Thor's nicknames is 'bear'?

He hunts them for the meat, they are quite tasty. And around here, abundant enough that it is OK to hunt them.
