Description: Helle is a family company of tradition and craft located a long way from the fast lanes of the big cities. Making high quality knives has been the source of the livelihood and lifestyle among the Helle family and its artisans for more than three generations (since 1932!). The generations-old tradition has been passed on through the hands of the people in the small, picturesque village of Holmedal, Vestland Co., Norway. Helle knives are made to join you as you adventure and explore this amazing world.
The Hellefisk only weighs in at 64 grams (2.2 oz) , making this a knife you can pack on any trip. Originally intended as a fishing knife, this knife can be applied to a wide variety of tasks. Often used in the outdoor kitchen or while out fishing.
The slender blade is 12C27 stainless steel, hardened to 59-60 Hrc for strength and durability. 12C27 stainless steel, made by Sandvik in Sweden, takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds onto it. It also maintains high toughness, high chip resistance, and good corrosion resistance -- it is a well-rounded choice for a hard use fixed blade. The 90 degree spine works perfectly with a ferro rod when lighting fires. The knife will easily clean your day's catch but will also be useful for a wide range of tasks around the camp site.
The handle is contoured from barrel shaped cork. This provides a slip-resistant grip that also is warm to the touch even in freezing temperature. This knife is even so light, it will float if dropped in the water, though we don't recommend doing that!
To keep the knife close at hand, a traditional pouch style leather sheath is included.
Handcrafted using traditional methods in Holmedal, Norway.
