Australia's Knife Specialists | Knowledgeable Advice, No Hassle Customer Service & the Best After Sales Support
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. Mod. NL3 Njord 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. 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.
The laminated blade is forged with an edge of VG10W steel to which we have added tungsten (W). In general, the addition of tungsten means that the edge becomes substantially more solid and keeps the sharpness better, at least that is what our own tests have showed. And the sides are made of 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. A 6 mm thick blade in itself would be strong enough for most tasks – with laminate technology one can expect an additional 20% strength in the form of resistance to bending, as compared to an ordinary VG10W blade.
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.
The sheath is made of black leather of the highest quality.
