CRKT Freyr Axe: Carbon Steel Blade, Hickory Handle

Introducing the Freyr tactical axe, a combination of Norse design and American soul. Designer Elmer Roush brings a logical approach to this axe, sticking with a tried and true shape that has been used for over a thousand years. The deep beard of the Freyr echoes Viking style, adding a touch of classic aesthetics. However, its balance and sturdiness give it a modern edge.

Elmer Roush, based in Brasstown, North Carolina, is deeply rooted in the past when it comes to axe design. The deep beard of the Freyr may not be used for its original purpose of drawing back an enemy's shield, but it enhances the functionality of this axe for modern tasks. Named after the Norse god of prosperity, the Freyr demonstrates its Viking soul while maintaining its classic appearance.

The blade of the Freyr is hot forged from carbon steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion through a passivation treatment. The handle is crafted from Tennessee hickory with precision, offering both durability and ease of use. Additionally, an aftermarket leather sheath is available for purchase to protect your Freyr.

If history truly repeats itself, then the Freyr tactical axe is proof of its timeless utility. This axe is part of the Forged By War program, initiated in 2016 by CRKT in collaboration with combat veterans. These veterans, who have firsthand experience of combat situations, have designed and forged tools that cater to their specific needs. CRKT donates 10% of the program's net profits to the veterans' charity of choice. For Elmer Roush, the Green Beret Foundation is his chosen charity.
