Helle Nordlys FG flat grind knife
Helle
Two brothers, Steinar and Sigmund Helle started knife production in the old forge at their farm in 1932. The first set of knives was sold on a long trip over the mountains on a bicycle! Today, Helle knives are sold all around the world, but just as then, much of the production is done manually. The philosophy remains the same: no machine can replace skilled craftsmanship. Craftsmen with extensive experience and knowledge still take pride in making each and every Helle knife unique.
he Helle Nordlys FG is a lightweight full tang outdoor knife designed for precision work, based on the popular Nordlys model. With its thin blade and flat grind, it excels at slicing tasks such as food preparation, wood carving, and general camp use. Compared to the standard Nordlys, the FG version is noticeably lighter and more agile.
The blade is made from stainless Alleima 12C27 steel, offering a balanced combination of sharpness, toughness, and ease of maintenance. The full tang construction ensures durability, while the skeletonized design reduces weight.
“Nordlys” means Northern Lights in Norwegian, reflecting the knife’s Nordic heritage. The Nordlys FG is an excellent choice for hikers, campers, and anyone looking for a precise and lightweight outdoor knife.
