Description
Fällkniven - Njord Northern Light NL3 Outdoor Knife
Njord was the god of fertility in Norse mythology and belonged to the Vanir clan. He was also the god of sailors and fishermen and the ruler of coasts and beaches. NL3 Njord is a strong, balanced knife that is a pleasure to handle. It's hard to find a more attractive all-purpose knife, and its strength naturally lies in the laminated VG110 steel. The Northern Light series spared no effort to make the knife as strong, beautiful, and comfortable as possible. The knife is a pleasure and a thrill to use
The blade is made of laminated VG100 steel, with the cutting edge made of our well-known VG100 steel and the sides made of tough, fully stainless 2J2 steel. This combination is good as it combines all conceivable and desirable properties such as load capacity, torque resistance, and edge resistance in one sheet. A blade that is 6 mm thick would be strong enough for most tasks on its own - with the laminate technology, one can expect an additional strength of 20% in terms of flexural strength compared to a conventional VG10 blade
The handle is made of specially selected cowhide: unfortunately a material that is often overlooked by manufacturers, but it provides a secure and sturdy grip. It ages beautifully over the years, developing an attractive brown patina, is unaffected by oil and solvents, and is waterproof. Dryness can lead to small cracks in the handle, which will disappear when the knife is used again
We insist on the convex grind, as we consider this to be the ultimate combination of cutting performance and edge retention, and of course, our NL2 Odin knife features it. To anyone who knows about knife making, it is clear that such an edge can only be made by hand, which is why 99,99% of all knives have a convex grind. Knives in general are of course produced in series, with CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) robots and grinding machines shaping the blades as well as possible. The machines are equipped with stacks of blades, so that production can run 24 hours a day and the result is often really good - good knives at affordable prices. However, if you desire the highest strength, corrosion resistance, edge retention, and design, a machine has not been built that can come close to the craftsmanship of a trained, experienced knife maker. Therefore, we are very proud to present our third knife of the Northern Light series. The Fällkniven - Njord Northern Light NL3 outdoor knife is aware that only the most quality-conscious individuals will appreciate its benefits
The sheath is made of black, high-quality leather
