Approved on 28 September 1990
Masfjorden municipality is situated in Hordaland county.
A strange device appears on the flag of Masfjorden. The municipality chose a
traditional tool, the hold, for their arms and flag. The hold is a device made
of wood that holds something in a grip so that it is kept together, and the idea
is to symbolise unity. Three of these objects appear on the flag, in yellow
centred on a field of red. Approval was granted 28 September 1990, with Rune
Garmann as the designer.

The heldrer clip is made of wood and traditionally used for fastening ropes
around loads. They symbolize forestry as the main industry, but also the unity
of three parts of the municipality
