== Overview ==
Each blade is hand-crafted by a Master [[Iron Priest]], and many incorporate the diamond-hard fangs of the [[Fenris]]ian [[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]]{{fn|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.{{Fn|5}}
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{{fn|1a}}.
