Nordic Knife Design Santoku 165 Kit

Nordic Knife Design Santoku 165 Kit with Handle Materials

NKD is the knife brand of Dennis Holmbacka from Finland, mixing old Finnish knife traditions with new advancements in steel and design. The result is a unique combination of quality blades made in proven steels, often mixing traditional blade shapes and grinds with modern tang construction, carry options and weight distribution. 

The NKD Santoku blade is a unique merger of East and West, a Japanese-inspired blade shape with the classic Finnish puuko handle shape made in Swedish 12C27 Stainless steel.

• NKD Santoku Blade
• Handle Scales in Curly Birch, drilled for bolts
• Corby Bolts

Work required:

Attach the scales and bolts to the blade with an epoxy adhesive like Araldite or Loctite and when dry filing the handles to your selected shape. Sanding with abrasive paper to 1500 grit is recommended to really make the grains pop and then sealing with our handle finish, tung oil or wax.
