Fällkniven - Odin Northern Light NL2 Outdoor Knife
The one-eyed Odin (or Woden) is considered, along with Thor, to be the highest-ranking god in Norse mythology. He was the father of the gods and humanity, and rode on his eight-legged horse Sleipnir. Accompanied by his knowledge bearers, the two ravens Hugin and Munin, he was the undisputed ruler of Valhalla. NL2 Odin is a powerful, adaptable knife with a blade made of our laminated VG10 steel. The knife's impact is excellent, while it does not feel unwieldy in any way. 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 durability, torque resistance, and edge retention in one. A 6,5 mm thick blade would be strong enough for most tasks - 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 second knife of the Northern Light series. The Fällkniven - Odin Northern Light NL2 outdoor knife is aware that only the most quality-conscious individuals will appreciate its benefits
The sheath is made of black, high-quality leather
