NL2 Odin

Together with Thor, the one-eyed Oden (or Woden) is considered the highest ranking god in the Norse sagas. The Fallkniven NL2 Oden Knife is a powerful adaptable knife. The striking action is excellent and the knife does not feel the least clumsy. It's laminated steel blade is made of Fallknivens 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 25% 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.
The handle consists of specially selected ox-hide, sadly a material that is usually overlooked by manufacturers, but which gives a sure and rugged grip. It ages beautifully and as the years pass it acquires an attractive brown patina, and it is unaffected by oil and solvents and impervious to water.
The sheath is made of brown leather of the highest quality. he Thor is the largest model in Fällknivens Northern Lights Series. The combination of a super modern stainless steel laminate steel (VG10/420J2) does not merely offer superior performance, it is also uncommonly beautiful.
It has been known for over a thousand years that the laminate blade offers exceptional strength and keenness. With today's technology, Fällkniven Knives have been able to add a resilient layer of 420J2 stainless steel to a VG10 high carbon stainless steel base. They have combined the properties of two different steels that together give a blade that both keeps its edge fantastically well whilst withstanding heavy use.
