Traditional fixed-blade hiking knife with 14116N/12C27 steel and curly birch handle.

We recommend the Nansen knife for outdoors people, hikers, and history lovers who want a blend of tradition and utility. The blade is made of durable 14116N stainless steel (also sold under 12C27 in some versions), hard enough to hold an edge yet easy to resharpen. The total length is 210 mm, the blade about 93 mm, and it weighs approximately 84 g light enough for carry yet solid in hand.

You get solid cutting performance for skinning, carving, or general outdoor use. Handle care (keep it oiled and dry) preserves the curly birch wood, and a good sharpening routine keeps the blade sharp for seasons.

This is a traditional fixed-blade knife inspired by the one Fridtjof Nansen received from the Greenland Eskimos in 1888—an expedition knife with history. The blade is straight ground, made in 14116N / Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The edge hardness is around HRC 56-58 depending on specific batch.

The handle is crafted from curly birch (masurbjørk), oiled to enhance durability and grip, with a ferrule of nickel silver (German Silver) for strength at the base of the blade. A leather sheath is included, plus a decorative gift box in many versions—making it suitable both for use and as a gift.

I have used similar Scandinavian fixed knives outdoors, and what stands out in the Nansen is its balance: its blade length, light weight, and materials make it reliable for tasks like whittling, game prep, or camp chores. If you want a knife that combines heritage, utility, and long-lasting materials, this model is a very good choice stock tends to move steadily, so ordering when you see it makes sense.
