Afterward, Fafnir's heart was cut out and roasted for Sigurd and Regin to eat. Under the guidance of Regin, Sigurd killed Fafnir, Regin's older brother that had killed their father Hreidmarr and monopolized his treasure. Ridill is weapon that appears in Norse Mythology, possessed by the dwarf Regin. A translation in English by Gavin Chappell with Facing Old Norse Text. In Gesta Danorum, Mistletoe is the weapon used to kill Baldr. Hrómundr used Mistilteinn during the battle between Óláfr and two Swedish kings both named Haldingr. After a long and fierce fight, he defeated Þráinn and took his treasure, especially his sword, with which Þráinn had killed four hundred and twenty men, including the Swedish king Semingr. Þráinn, who had become a draugr (living dead) was sitting inside. The Danish king Óláfr and his men, among whom Hrómundr Gripsson, learnt about that and found the barrow. Mistilteinn first belonged to Þráinn, who had been king in Valland before he retired in his burial mound with his wealth. Mistilteinn ("Mistletoe"), also known as Misteltein or Mystletainn, is Hrómundr Gripsson's sword in Hrómundar saga Gripssonar, a legendary saga from Iceland. Theories Leszek Gardeła theorized that the weapon was a magic staff, tein, meaning 'twig', being part of the general word for magic staff gambantein. Fjölsvinnsmál The weapon is mentioned briefly in the poem Fjölsvinnsmál: Bellows comments that Lægjarn means "Lover of Ill" and, like the name Lopt, refers to Loki. The amended name Lævateinn is etymologically considered to be a kenning for a sword (Old Norse "damage twig"). The name Lævateinn does not appear in the original manuscript reading, but is an emendation from Hævateinn made by Sophus Bugge and others. In Norse mythology, Lævateinn is a weapon mentioned in the Poetic Edda poem Fjölsvinnsmál. It was a part of Fáfnir's treasure, which Sigurðr took after he slew the dragon. Hrotti is a sword in the Völsung cycle (Fáfnismál, Völsunga saga, 20). Gram is depicted on several of the Sigurd stones. 13th century), Siegfried discards Gram after receiving a legendary sword called Balmung in Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle (1848–1874), it is called Nothung. After it was reforged, it could cleave an anvil in twain. The sword was eventually reforged by Regin for Sigurd's use.

Before he died, Sigmund instructed his wife to keep the pieces so that it might be reforged for the their unborn son (Sigurd), whom she was carrying. The sword was destroyed in battle when Sigmund struck the spear of an enemy soldier dressed in a wide brimmed hat and a black hooded cloak.

Gram was forged by Volund and originally belonged to Sigurd's father, Sigmund, who received it in the hall of the Völsung after pulling it out of the tree Barnstokkr into which Odin had stuck it where no one else could pull it out. In Norse mythology, Gram (Old Norse "wrath") is the name of the sword that Sigurd used to kill the dragon Fafnir.

When Heðinn offers him compensation for the abduction of his daughter, Högni replies: 'Thou hast made this offer over-late, if thou wouldst make peace: for now I have drawn Dáinsleif, which the dwarves made, and which must cause a man's death every time it is bared, nor ever fails in its stroke moreover, the wound heals not if one be scratched with it.' -Skáldskaparmál (50), Brodeur's translation
