Helle Nordlys 14C28N - Curly Birch

Nordlys is the ultimate all-round full tang knife for outdoor use. Even before we launched the Nord, we knew we wanted to make a smaller sibling. Something that retained the possibilities for multiple grips and preserved the utilitarian blade shape of our bushcrafting bestseller, but smaller, lighter and therefore easier to bring on your everyday adventures.

Nordlys means Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) in Norwegian. Lys means both light and fair. Nordlys preserves all the innovative features of its larger sibling, but packs it in a substantially smaller package. At 4.88 inches, the Nordlys handle is 0.51 inches shorter than on the Nord, but you still have the space for a forward grip for finer cuts and a pommel grip when chopping.

Over the past few years, we ourselves have tested the Nordlys on long hikes, short hikes, camping and bushcrafting. The Nordlys has done food preparation, made kindling for fires, thrown sparks off ferro rods, sharpened sticks, carved spoons and much, much more. The feedback from our product testers has been uniform: With the Nordlys you are getting a knife that performs well at anything you throw at it, and at the same time does not feel heavy on the belt while you are moving from A to B.
