Northern Light Series, model NL2
Odin

Together with Thor, the one-eyed Oden (or Woden) is considered the
highest ranking god in the Norse sagas. He was the father of the gods
and of mankind, riding on his eight-legged horse
Sleipner. Accompanied by his bearers of
knowledge, the two ravens Hugin and
Munin, he was the undisputed ruler
of Valhalla. Mod. NL2 Oden is a powerful
adaptable knife with its blade in our new
laminated VG10 steel. The striking action is excellent and the knife
does not feel the least clumsy.
We're full of excitement and anticipation as we present the our new Northern
Light Series (or 'Norrsken' as the Northern Lights Series is called in Swedish)
where nothing has been spared to
make the knife as strong, beautiful and comfortable as possible. The knife is a pleasure
to look at and a thrill to use.
We can now present a world first as regards the blade - it's in laminated VG10 steel,
where the edge is made of our now renowned VG10 steel and the sides consist of tough,
all-stainless 420J2 steel. This combination is unquestionably the best,
since it brings together all conceivable and desirable properties such as resilience,
resistance to torque and edge-durability in a single blade. With laminate technology one can expect an additional
25%
strength in the form of resistance to bending, as compared to an ordinary VG10 blade.
This ensures qualities that no other manufacturer in the world can offer.
Our handle consists of specially selected ox-hide, sadly a material that is usually overlooked by manufacturers, but which gives a sure and
rugged grip. It ages beautifully and as the years pass it acquires an attractive
brown patina, and it is unaffected by oil and solvents and impervious to water.
We are persisting with the convex edge, since we consider this to be the ultimate combination
of cutting performance and edge strength, and of course our new Northern
Light knives feature this.
Anyone who knows about knife making knows that such an edge can only be made by
hands,
and that's why 99.99% of all (other) knives don't have that kind of edge. Knives in general are of course
mass-produced, where CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) robots and grinders shape the
blades as best they can. The machines are loaded with stacks of blades so that production can go on 24
hours a day and the result is quite often really good - good knives at affordable quotes.
However, if you want top-drawer strength, corrosion-.resistance, edge durability and design,
the machine hasn't been made that can come even close to the craftsmanship of a trained,
skilled knifemaker.
Therefore, we take great pride in being able to present our new Northern
Light Series, well aware that only the most quality-conscious will appreciate
its assets. As the knives are made totally by hand in very short series, there will sometimes be
inconveniently long shipping times, but remember that these knives will be made for as long as
our company exists, so bear with us. So far we've been in business for just 18 years,
but we hope to be around for a long time to come.
The sheath is made of brown leather of the highest quality.
