{"product_id":"helle-nordlys-fg-flat-grind","title":"Helle Nordlys FG (Flat Grind)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Nordlys Flatgrind (FG) is a very different sibling to the standard Nordlys. While the basic shape of the knife is the same, the FG version feels very different. Not only does it have a much thinner blade with a flat grind that means that it excels as a slicer rather than for heavier work, it is much more lightweight. In fact, the Nordlys FG measures in at 67 % the weight of the standard version, primarily because of the thinner stock and a skeletonized handle.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlat grinds on knives are popular because they provide a versatile balance of strength, sharpness, and ease of maintenance. In a flat grind, the blade tapers evenly from the spine to the cutting edge, creating a V-shaped cross-section. This design reduces cutting drag, allowing the blade to slice more efficiently through materials like vegetables, meat, and wood. Flat grinds also offer a thin edge, which makes them easy to sharpen and maintain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, the Nordlys FG is more adept at food preparation and other tasks that require fine cuts rather than heavier chores, which the standard Nordlys version excels at. The Nordlys FG stands out as the perfect choice for all those that want a knife for precision cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNordlys means Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) in Norwegian. Lys means both light and fair. Nordlys FG incorporates the innovative features of its larger siblings, but delivers it in a substantially lighter package. At 12.4 cm, the Nordlys FG handle is 1.3 cm shorter than on the Nord, but you still have the space for a forward grip for finer cuts and a pommel grip when chopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flatground blade is 2,1 mm thick and made out of the very tough and stainless 12C27 Alleima steel. The overall weight of the Nordlys FG therefore clocks in at only 100 grams - extremely light for being a full tang knife of this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNordlys FG\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eWeight incl. sheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003e188 g \/  6.63 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eBlade material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003eAlleima 12C27 stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eBlade thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003e2,1 mm \/  0.083 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eBlade length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003e122 mm \/  4.80 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eBlade construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003eFull-tang\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eHandle material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003eCurly birch and vulcanized fibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eHandle length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003e124 mm \/  4.88 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eSheath material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003eGenuine leather (brown)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eDesign by\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003eHelle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.2804%;\"\u003eDesign year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55.3506%;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ragweed Forge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49047880270047,"sku":"201671","price":239.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/6139\/2095\/files\/nordlysfg.webp?v=1777585367","url":"https:\/\/thebucketmouthbrand.com\/products\/helle-nordlys-fg-flat-grind","provider":"BUCKETMOUTH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
