A Frost Blade is an ornate type of Chainsword used solely by the Space Wolves chapter. Each one is hand-crafted by a Master Iron Priest, and many incorporate the diamond-hard fangs of the Fenrisian Ice Kraken. They are highly sought after and in the skilled hands of a Space Marine they can be comparable in effect to most Power Weapons[1a].
A variant is the Frost Axe, which incorporates the same elements. Frost axes are sometimes made from energized diamond, giving them the appearance of blades forged from pure ice[1a].
Wolf Lord Ragnar Blackmane wields a Frost Blade[1b]. He received it while serving as a Wolfblade, as a gift from the Celestarch of House Belisarius, for saving Lady Gabriella Belisarius from an assassination attempt by a rival house. The blade was said to have been carried by the earliest Wolfblades, since the time of Leman Russ' original agreement with the House. It was formerly possessed by Skander Bloody-axe, Ragnar's predecessor[2a].
