[Fallkniven] NL3 Njord, VG10W Super, Fixed Blade, Japan

Njord was the god of fertility in the Norse sagas and belonged to the Vanir clan. He was also the god of sailors and fishermen, and the ruler of coasts and beaches. It is hard to find a more attractive all-round knife and its strength of course lies in the laminated VG10W steel. When it comes to the Northern Light Series nothing has been spared to make the knife as strong, beautiful and comfortable as possible.

The Fallkniven NL3 Njord Knife is a strong, well-balance knife that is a joy to handle. It is hard to find a more attractive all-round knife, and its strength of course lies in the laminated VG10 steel. The knife is a pleasure to look at and a thrill to use. It's laminated steel blade is constructed such that the edge is made of 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.

The NL3's 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.

As with all Fallkniven knives, a convex edge has been adopted. This is considered to be the ultimate combination of cutting performance and edge strength.

The sheath is made of brown leather of the highest quality.
