Krakentooth Pattern Frostblade[1a]
A Frost Blade is an ornate type of Chainsword used solely by the Space Wolves chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.
Overview
Each blade 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].
