Description

Fallkniven NL5 Idun Fixed Blade Knife NL5L


The laminated blade of this Fallkniven NL5 Fixed Blade Hunting Knife is forged with an edge of VG10 steel centre, and the sides are a tough, all-stainless 420J2 steel. This excellent combination of metals brings together all conceivable and desirable knife properties including resilience, resistance to torque and edge-durability all in a single blade. The 5mm thick blade itself is strong enough for all reasonable tasks, but with the laminate technology one can expect an additional 20% strength in the form of resistance to bending compared to a non-laminated VG10 blade.

The beautiful handle consists of specially selected oxide that gives a sure and rugged grip. It ages with elegance and as the years pass it acquires an attractive brown patina. The handle is unaffected by oil and solvents and impervious to water. When the oxide drys out, small cracks on the handle can appear, but they disappear when the knife is put to use again.

The convex edge is the ultimate combination of cutting performance and edge strength. Anyone who knows anything about knife making knows that such an edge can only be made by hand. If you want top-drawer strength, tremendous corrosion-resistance, edge durability and custom design, no machine can come close to the craftsmanship of a trained and skilled knife-smith. 

In Norse mythology, Idun was the goddess of fertility, and was responsible for guarding the apples that ensured the gods eternal youth. To many, she was also a symbol of love and rebirth, and in a famous poem she was referred to as the lover of the gods (ása leika). Unlike earlier knife models in the Northern Lights series, the NL5 is a little rounder and softer in form, and therefore an excellent choice as a hunting knife. The straight, fairly generous leather grip gives complete control over the powerful laminated VG10 blade. The NL5L is as attractive as it is effective especially in the hands of the experienced hunter or bushcrafter. When it comes to the Northern Lights Series nothing has been spared to make this knife as strong, beautiful and comfortable as possible. 

This Fallkniven NL5 Idun Northern Lights series knife comes with a high-quality black leather sheath.
