I actually don't recall any norse god weilding a sword come to think of it. Spears, axes, and bows sure, and of course Mjolnir being Thor's Iconic Hammer. But I don't recall any sword wielding Aesir or Vanir.
None of the Norse gods do that I recall, no. Swords are actually pretty rare in ancient mythology generally.

The only thing that comes close is the story behind Gram/Balmung/Nothung where Odin placed it into a tree for Sigmund to draw out. Much like Author did with Excalibur.
Odin is a good guy. It'll be Paladin's sword.
I think it was Sigurd that drew Bram from the Ash Tree and Sigmund, son of Sigurd, reforges Gram's broken blade into the Balmung/Nothung. But there's a lot of contradiction between Celtic and Scandinavian mythogy on Arthur and Sigmund even though they apear in both.
Would personally like to see a weapon for each job from Behemoth/Odin, Behemoths is nearly there with a quite a few of the highest tier pvp weapons being themed around him.
Zantetsuken for each job could be explained by it taking the form most suited to whomever wields it.
I'm actually surprised at the amount of attention this has garnered. I was half-expecting trollish comments like hurr durr who cares old content or something.
This would actually be a good way to bring some life back to these old FATE's I feel. I hope the community representatives are reading this.
It may as well be added, all the 2.0 tokens,tomes and so on swords for DRK are just bigger versions of PLD swords...which is why some of them look weird as anything lol.
