This **Viper Nordlys VT4046UL Satin, Olive Wood** was designed by skilled knife maker Jens Ansø. This ergonomic, fixed-blade knife has semi-concealed tang construction, providing a fine balance between light weight and sturdy handle construction. This also makes the knife comfortable to hold, as your thumb and index finger have a grippy place to rest.

The unique blade shape makes the Nordlys suitable for a variety of tasks and applications. The convex belly and high flat grind make the knife ideal for food preparation and processing game, while the pointed tip also lets you perform precise cutting tasks, such as light woodworking. In short, the Nordlys is the ultimate companion for any outdoor activity, be it a leisurely hike, a camping trip or a challenging hunt.



The blade of the Viper Nordlys VT4046UL Satin, Olive Wood, fixed knife, Jens Ansø design measures 9.7 cm in length and 4 mm in thickness. The total length is 20.7 cm.



## Blade made of Böhler N690 steel
The blade of the Viper Nordlys VT4046UL Satin, Olive Wood, fixed knife, Jens Ansø design is made of Böhler N690, a very corrosion-resistant steel from Austria. It is tough and easy to sharpen, even with relatively limited resources. Needless to say, it retains its sharp edge very well.



The blade of this knife is enhanced with a 'satin finish'. This is a chic and tasteful finish that is very popular.



## Handle made of olive wood
The handle of this fixed knife is made from olive wood, a stunning Mediterranean type of wood with beautiful markings. Olive wood is relatively 'oily', meaning it is very low maintenance. Simply apply some mineral oil once in a while and you'll see the difference it makes. Of course, olive wood is a natural material. The knife you receive may therefore look a bit different than the product photos. This makes every knife unique!

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

value_max_belt_width

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
