The Sons of Ívaldi forged Gungnir, Odin's unerring spear, alongside Sif's golden hair and Skíðblaðnir at Loki's commission in Skáldskaparmál.
Loki's mischief in cutting Sif's golden hair drove him to the Sons of Ívaldi in Svartálfheim, where they forged Gungnir alongside replacement hair and Skíðblaðnir to appease the gods.
Odin hurled Gungnir over the Vanir host to open the first war among gods, and the spear that never misses its mark will be in his hand when he rides against Fenrir at Ragnarök.
