Nordic Knife Design Stoat 100 Blade

Nordic Knife Design Stoat 100 Blade

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. 

This is a Nordic take on the Kwaiken blade, with a distinct fulltang handle shape and a merger of tanto and puuko in the blade. A strong flat grind of 32 degrees gives a bit more meat behind the edge for an overall strong, elegant blade.
