The Nordlys FG (Flat Grind) is the slicing specialist of Helle's Nordlys family. It shares the silhouette of the standard Nordlys, but a thinner 2.1 mm blade with a full flat grind and a skeletonized handle bring it to only 67% of the standard version's weight, about 100 grams for a full tang knife of this size.
A flat grind tapers evenly from spine to edge, cutting with less drag through vegetables, meat, fish and wood, and it is easy to sharpen and maintain. That makes the Nordlys FG a natural fit for camp cooking, food prep and precision cutting rather than heavy chopping. The blade is tough, stainless Alleima (Sandvik) 12C27 steel.
Nordlys means "Northern Lights" in Norwegian. The 4.88" curly birch and vulcanized fibre handle leaves room for a forward grip for fine cuts and a pommel grip for heavier work. A brown genuine leather sheath is included. Handmade in Holmedal, Norway.
