Nordic Knife Design - Forester 100 C Black head
Nordic Knife Design - Forester 100 C Scandi head
After leaving as co-owner of Bris, Dennis Holmbacka founded Nordic Knife Design. Founded by a knife industry veteran as a designer and trader, NKD may be a new name, but behind it lies decades of experience. NKD knives are often minimalist in detail and have an elegant design, features that many would call traditional Scandinavian design. Form follows function. NKD uses the best factories used by many other top brands. With these blades, there is no question of quality issues.
Forester 100 is made of carbon steel 80CrV2 and makes a very good proposition for building a strong knife for the woods.
The design of the headstock guarantees durability and comfortable handling during bushcraft work. The blade is crude, typical of knives that will not be afraid of the toughest jobs. The black color of the sides of the blade is an effect achieved by hardening in an open furnace. The technique fuses a mixture of burned oil and other materials together with the steel and acts as additional protection against rust.
The head has mounting holes that fit Corby type screws (4.6 mm) or ordinary metal rods.
