Krakentooth Pattern Frostblade^[1b]

A Frost Blade is an ornate type of Chainsword used by the Space Wolves chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.^[1a]

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]

In the legends of the chapter, the finest Frost Blades are made of ice harvested from the heart of a glacier, and then tempered inside a Kraken's belly.^[5]
