Hot-forged 1055 carbon steel tactical axe with deep Viking beard design, Tennessee hickory handle, and magnesium phosphate finish. 16.13 inches overall, 1.79 lbs.
Designer Elmer Roush understood a fundamental truth: some designs endure because they work. The CRKT Freyr draws inspiration from Viking axes that proved themselves over a thousand years of use, then refines that proven geometry for contemporary application.
This is not a museum piece. The Freyr combines historical aesthetics with modern materials and balance. The prominent beard—that distinctive curved lower edge—serves both form and function, echoing the Norse tradition while providing practical utility for splitting and detailed work.
Whether you're splitting kindling at camp, clearing brush, or simply appreciating fine tool design, the Freyr delivers. It respects its heritage while standing firmly in the present day.
