However, it has been repaired many times since then. Now it bears not one part, not head, nor haft, nor field generator, that it did then. And yet, it is the same hammer. So it is with you. Now stop mourning the arm you lost, and think of the warrior you will still be when I have forged you another."'''<br>''|source = - Ivarr Ironstrike'''''{{Fn|1b}}

'''Ivarr Ironstrike''' is a [[Primaris Space Marine|Primaris]] [[Iron Priest]] of the [[Space Wolves]] [[Chapter]].{{Fn|1b}}
==History==
He gave{{Fn|1b}} the [[Skyclaw]]{{Fn|1a}} [[Gunnvor Kane]] a millennia-old [[power hammer]] to wield and later built an [[Augmentic]] arm for Kane as well. When the Skyclaw was mournful over the injury, Ironstrike reminded Kane that though the hammer he wields had been rebuilt many times over, it was still the same hammer. And the Iron Priest claimed the same would hold true for Kane as well.{{Fn|1b}}
==Trivia==
{{Trivia}}
*Ivarr's quote regarding the hammer's components being replaced and yet still being the same weapon can be considered a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Ship of Theseus|Ship of Theseus]], a thought experiment first conceptualised in Ancient Greece.
