Description

Ax CRKT FREYR 2746.

Nordic design with a soul that is all American. Why mess with an ax shape that has been proven for over a thousand years? This is logic designer and veteran Elmer Roush, bringing you the Freyr™ Tactical Ax. A deep beard reflects the Viking style. But his balance and sheer power puts him in a current league of his own. Viking shield and battle cry not included.

Elmer Roush of Brasstown, North Carolina has one foot definitely in the past. When it comes to designing axes, ie. Although the deep beard of Freyru™ may not be used to pull down an enemy’s shield as it would in the seas of Viking-guarded prison guards, the balance it adds elevates this ax to a modern workhorse. Named after the Norse god of prosperity, its Viking soul lives up to the classic look.

The blade itself is hot forged from carbon steel and is passivated for maximum corrosion resistance. Met with a handle carved from Tennessee hickory, it is precision crafted for durability and ease of use. A leather scabbard is available for purchase.

If it is true that history repeats itself, then this utility ax is definitive proof.

About Forged By War®

In 2013, Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, a designer of elite, military, tactical tomahawks, approached CRKT® with the news that he had worked with several war veterans who had returned from war with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress (PTS).

To help them overcome their challenges, they designed and forged steel into their own tools. Based on their experience gained in combat situations, they created the tools they wished to have available on the battlefield.

CRKT® cares deeply about our returning veterans and we saw a way to give back to the community that created them. In 2016, we launched the Forged By War® program.

These are mission-ready tools, designed by veterans, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the veteran’s charity of choice.

Elmer Roush’s charity for this tool is the Green Beret Foundation.
