Norse knife: the perfect mix of craftsmanship and innovation
Norse knives are the perfect blend of craftsmanship and modern technology. Norwegian fixed-blade knives are known for their craftsmanship, durability, and traditional designs, often inspired by the rugged landscapes and harsh conditions of Scandinavia. The two most iconic types of Norwegian fixed-blade knives are puukkos and leuku knives, though the latter is more commonly associated with the Sámi people across Norway, Sweden, and Finland. These knives have stood the test of time as all-round outdoor knives. In addition to fixed-blade knives, there are also pocket knives in the traditional Norwegian style.
Norse knives
Blade
Most Norwegian knives use a Scandi grind, a single-bevel edge that provides excellent sharpness and is easy to maintain in the field. This grind is particularly good for woodworking and bushcraft. It ensures:
-
The sharp blade is durable and holds an edge well.
-
The knife is easy to sharpen
Handle
The handles of Norwegian knives are often made of natural materials such as birch wood and reindeer antlers. These materials give each knife:
-
A unique look and feel.
-
A comfortable grip even during prolonged use.
