execellent knife should have a better sheat

i've been using since 2004 as a field knife while camping or hiking--it's well balanced and perfectly fits in my hand--superbe look and cutting ability--not so good the sheat for such a knife---bye

NL2 Odin Bowie

All Fallknivens are incredible quality. I especially like the Northern light line of knives. I now own the NL1 Thor, NL2 Odin, NL3 Njord, Taiga Forester, all purchased from KnifeCenter.

Am a very happy user of the Odin, the Njord

Am a very happy user of the Odin, the Njord, and the Frey, and I am not easily pleased. Peter, the happy family man behind the concept of the Northern Lights series, is a genuine artist, both in developing a great idea, and creating it. These are the finest knives I ever held, and without abuse, will last me my lifetime. These knives are not mass produced, but are hand produced, please bear that in mind when you see the price. What you pay for is what you get. The sheath is top quality leather, and a fitting compliment to the knife. Now to the down side,( there always is one). The convex edge Peter extols, see no evidence of it, all three knives had a different cutting angle, reasonably sharp,but not to my standard. Takes about 30 mins on Spyderco sharpemaker, this is one tough steel. Now it glides through a sheet of A4 as though it not there, after months of use and no sharpening, still does, rest my case.

The Scandinavian Beauty with the Samurai Spirit.

As soon as I held it in my hand, I knew I had spent my hard-earned money on the highest quality. Fallkniven NL2 Odin is the BEST knife I've ever owned in my life and I know she will be my companion for life, since I treat any knife for what it is and do not believe in abusing it. Fallkniven is a Swedish cutlery company famous for manufacturing the world's finest knives, but later I found out that Odin is actually made right in our backyard, Seki, Gifu Prefecture, the Samurai sword capital of the world, Japan! NL2 Odin prides herself in the thick, beefy blade made of VG10 steel with wickedly sharp edge, and the light-brown colored ox hide handle gives a real traditional look any bowie knife should have. The blade sharpness of Odin gives me an impression that once it sinks into whatever is being cut, it will not let go of it until it is completely cut through. I once considered buying Cold Steel VG1 Sanmai Trail Master but through some serious research of my own, I have come to a conclusion that VG10 seems to be the better knife steel. Although VG10 is extremely resistant to corrosion, no steel is completely corrosion-proof, so it will be better to apply a light coating of mineral oil on the surface of the blade and also mink oil on the leather handle and the knife sheath regularly. Over all, this Scandinavian Beauty is a pleasure to look at and hold in your hand.
