NL5
IDUN
In Norse mythology, Idun was the goddess of fertility, and
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
poem she was referred to as the lover of the gods (ása leika).
Unlike earlier models in the Northern Lights series, NL5 is
a little rounder and softer in form, and therefore an excellent choice
as a hunting knife. The straight, fairly generous grip in leather gives
complete control over the powerful blade in laminate VG10 steel, and
makes the knife a tool as attractive as it is effective in the hands of
the experienced hunter.
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 20% 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.
Fallkniven Idun Northern Light Series No. 5. 8 1/2" overall.
4" laminated VG-10 steel blade is heat treated to HRC 59. Stacked
leather handle with stainless guard and aluminum butt. Brown leather
belt sheath.
