Ukonvasara is the magical hammer of the Finnish thunder god Ukko, and was similar to Thor's Mjolnir. With Ukonvasara, Ukko created lightning. Pagan Finns carried hammer-pendants on their necks to be protected by Ukko. Ukko also used an axe and sword.

Ukko's hammer was probably originally the same thing as the boat-shaped stone axe. While stone tools were abandoned with the advent of metalworking, the origins of stone-weapons became a mystery. They were believed to be weapons of Ukko, stone-heads of striking lightnings. Shamans collected and held stone-axes because they were believed to hold the power to heal and to damage.

Hammer-shaped pendants were carried as protection from the thunder god. A=Finnish Ukonvasara B=Scandinavic Thors hammer C=Icelandic Thors hammer
This kind of stone hammer could be the original meaning of ukonvasara
