Description:
The Fällkniven NL1 (Northern Light) Thor is an impressive piece which leaves no one unmoved. The blade, a massive one to say the least, in stainless laminate VG10 steel expresses raw strength, combined with fantastic bite. It is evident to all and sundry that this is an item intended solely for specialists, i.e. woodsmen with long experience of using edged implements. There is no doubting that this is a chopper to withstand heavy use; but for those who learn to handle the knife, it is also a flexible tool which can carry out practically any job one might require of a knife. Magnificent and incredibly beautiful, this big knife is a trustworthy companion for life.
VG10 steel vs VG10W steel
For this version Fällkniven tried a new type of steel: VG10W. This is the famous VG10-steel, but additional tungsten was added to the alloy. As such the steel is much stronger and retains its sharpness even better. At least: in the Fällkniven tests. They are looking for confirmation and user experiences. Forged by the legendary Takefu Special Steel Co.
