This Viper Nordlys VT4044CG Stonewashed, Green Canvas Micarta was designed by skilled knife maker Jens Ansø.

The convex belly and high flat grind make the knife ideal for food preparation and processing game, while the pointed tip also lets you perform precise cutting tasks, such as light woodworking. In short, the Nordlys is the ultimate companion for any outdoor activity, be it a leisurely hike, a camping trip or a challenging hunt.

Blade made of Böhler N690 steel
The blade of the Viper Nordlys VT4044CG Stonewashed, Green Canvas Micarta, fixed knife, Jens Ansø design is made of Böhler N690, a very corrosion-resistant steel from Austria. It is tough and easy to sharpen, even with relatively limited resources. Needless to say, it retains its sharp edge very well.



The ‘stonewash’ process was chosen for the finish of this blade. The stonewash process involves the blade being placed inside a drum with ceramic stones, or media, and then vibrated or tumbled for several hours. The result is a finish that looks precisely polished or roughened depending on the version. The advantage of stonewashing, however, is that signs of use are much less noticeable. That makes it a popular choice for knives that see a lot of use.
