morþvapn (OSw) noun

Using a morþvapn was more severely punished than using a folkvapn (q.v.). The specific weapons may have varied, but SdmL lists table knife, carving knife, and bow and arrow; the latter is sometimes classified as a folkvapn, but its simultaneous status as morþvapn seems to be confirmed by DL and HL.
