HELLE Knife Nordlys FG

The Nordlys Flatgrind (FG) is a distinct version of the standard Nordlys. While the overall shape is the same, the FG has a much thinner blade with a flat grind, making it ideal for slicing rather than heavy work. It is also significantly lighter, weighing just 67% of the standard model due to the thinner stock and skeletonized handle.

Flat grinds offer a balanced combination of strength, sharpness, and easy maintenance. The blade tapers evenly from spine to edge, creating a V-shaped cross-section that reduces cutting drag and allows precise slicing of vegetables, meat, and wood. The thin edge is also easy to sharpen and maintain.

The Nordlys FG is therefore perfect for tasks requiring fine cuts, while the standard Nordlys excels at heavier chores. At 12.4 cm, its handle is 1.3 cm shorter than the Nord, yet still allows both forward and pommel grips for different cutting styles.

The flatground blade is 2.1 mm thick and made of tough, stainless 12C27 Alleima steel. The knife weighs only 100 grams, making it extremely light for a full tang of this size. Handle is made out of curly birch and vulcanized fibre.
