Regin reforged the shattered fragments of Sigmund's sword into Gram at Sigurd's demand, producing a blade sharp enough to split an anvil.
Sigurd laid Gram between himself and Brynhild during the three nights behind the flame-wall. Brynhild commanded it be placed between them again on the funeral pyre — the sword that divided them in life uniting them in death.
After Sigmund fell in battle, Hjördís gathered the broken shards of his sword Gram from the battlefield, preserving them at his dying command so they could one day be reforged for their unborn son Sigurd.
Odin thrust the sword Gram into the tree Barnstokkr in the Völsung hall, declaring that whoever could pull it free would possess it. Only Sigmund succeeded.
Sigmund drew Gram's predecessor from Barnstokkr and wielded it until Odin shattered it in his final battle. The broken shards were preserved and reforged into Gram for his son Sigurd.
Sigurd wielded the reforged sword Gram to slay the dragon Fáfnir, striking from a pit beneath him.
