I have heard a story that many weapons including Indra's Vajra was created with Sage Dadhichi's bone.

Was only one weapon (Vajra) created? If no, then I want to know exactly which weapons are created? And who have attributed them?

And is there any mention of this story in our scriptures?

I am not sure about other weapons but my answer here discusses Vajra: http://hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/2956/what-does-vajra-mean – Amit Saxena May 08 '16 at 02:46

@TriyugiNarayanMani No, it discusses what happened after the Vajra was created, when Indra needed one more weapon to kill Asuras with. – Keshav Srinivasan May 17 '16 at 11:42

Apart from Vajra, Three bows are also created from Sage Dadhichi's bone. They are Sarang, Pinak, Gandeev. One other weapon is also created, but I don't know what was it. – Yash Yadav Jun 30 '17 at 02:44
