Knivsflå is a pair of historic mountain farms on the steep slopes above the Geirangerfjorden in Stranda Municipality, Norway. The farms have been inhabited since at least the 1600s and include an associated mountain pasture roughly 500 metres above the fjord, reached only by a faint footpath. The site sits north of the Seven Sisters waterfall and faces the older Skageflå farm across the water. Knivsflå was abandoned in 1898 because of the danger of falling rocks.
