Helle NEW Nordlys FG HE-2001671 recenzia

The Nordlys Flatgrind (FG) is a unique counterpart to the standard Nordlys. While it shares the same basic silhouette, the FG version offers a distinct experience. Its blade is significantly thinner with a flat grind, making it an exceptional slicer rather than a tool for heavier tasks. This version is notably more lightweight, weighing in at just 67% of the standard model, thanks to its reduced stock thickness and a skeletonized handle. Flat grinds are favored in the knife community for their versatile balance of strength, sharpness, and ease of maintenance. In this grind style, the blade tapers uniformly from the spine to the cutting edge, forming a V-shaped cross-section. This design minimizes cutting resistance, allowing the blade to glide effortlessly through materials like vegetables, meat, and wood. The thin edge of a flat grind also makes it easy to sharpen and maintain. Consequently, the Nordlys FG excels in food preparation and tasks requiring precision cuts, rather than the heavier duties where the standard Nordlys shines. The Nordlys FG is the ideal choice for those seeking a knife tailored for precision cutting. In Norwegian, Nordlys translates to Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). "Lys" signifies both light and fair. The Nordlys FG incorporates the innovative features of its larger counterparts but delivers them in a significantly lighter form. With a handle measuring 12.4 cm, the Nordlys FG is 1.3 cm shorter than the Nord, yet it still accommodates a forward grip for detailed cuts and a pommel grip for chopping. The flatground blade is 2.1 mm thick and crafted from the robust and stainless 12C27 Alleima steel. As a result, the Nordlys FG weighs in at a mere 100 grams, remarkably light for a full tang knife of this size.
