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 [[Fenris|Fenrisian]] [[Kraken (Sea Creature)|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]]<sup>11a</sup>.
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.<sup>11b</sup>
[[Wolf Lord]] [[Ragnar Blackmane]] wields a Frost Blade<sup>2</sup>. He received it while serving as a [[Wolfblade (Unit)|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 formerly possessed by [[Skander Bloody-axe]], Ragnar's predecessor.<sup>32</sup>
