Viking Leather Bracers Mjolnir | Thor's Hammer - Outlet

Viking Leather Bracers Mjolnir | Thor's Hammer | Pair

Strength of Buffalo Leather and Precise Embossing

The foundation of these vambraces is high-quality buffalo leather, processed using the traditional vegetable tanning method. This process ensures not only high durability of the material but also its typical robustness while maintaining flexibility. The surface is adorned with a deep and detailed embossing of Thor's Hammer (Mjolnir), filled with intricate knotwork ornaments in the Norse style.

The bracers are designed so as not to restrict wrist movement, which you will appreciate during fencing or handling objects. On the inner side (underside of the forearm), there is a row of metal grommets with a strong leather cord. Thanks to this lacing system, the bracers are universally adjustable, and you can tighten them exactly as needed – whether on bare skin or over the sleeve of a linen tunic.

Historical Context: Mjolnir as a Symbol of Protection

Thor's hammer, Old Norse Mjöllnir, was not perceived in mythology and history merely as a destructive weapon with which the Thunder God crushed the skulls of giants. It was also a powerful tool of consecration and protection. Vikings wore hammer-shaped amulets (numerous archaeological finds exist worldwide) to ensure Thor's protection against evil and chaos. The hammer was also used to hallow weddings and funerals. By wearing the Mjolnir motif on your forearm, you symbolically connect with the tradition of warriors who believed the power of thunder would shield them in the heat of battle.

Care Instructions

As this is a genuine leather product dyed with natural pigments, it requires some care to last for ages:

• Regular Conditioning: Leather dries out over time. Treat it at least twice a year with a quality leather balm or beeswax.
• Beware of Water and Heat: If the bracers get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them on a radiator or near a fire; the leather would become hard and brittle.
• Cleaning: Remove dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive chemicals.
