HELLE: norwegian knives made to be used

A Helle knife is made to withstand the stresses and strains that a knife is subjected to outdoors. 
Much of HELLE production is done manually, in accordance to theyr philosophy :
 "Quality craftmanship is best preserved by skilled craftsmen". 

Craftsmen with extensive experience and knowledge still take pride in making each and every Helle knife unique.

Skilled knife specialists take pride in making the Helle brand synonymous with quality.

In most handles, Helle use the hard and beautifully structured wood of curly grained birch, alone or in combination with matching materials, such as leather and stag horn.

A painstaking process of grinding, polishing and oiling is performed to offer full justice to the natural beauty of these materials.

The steel in Helle knives is unique : the differences between a Helle knife and other knives are many, but the biggest one lies in the triple laminated stainless steel blade.

The core is made of high alloy steel which gives it a lasting, razor-sharp edge, but this harder layer cannot however exclude the threat of rust or breakage.
To exploit the superb qualities of the high alloy steel, Helle added two layers of tough stainless steel (18/8) to protect the blade against breakage and corrosion, while the high carbon core still provides a superb cutting edge.
The Helle triple laminated stainless steel is unique to Helle knife blades, more expensive than in most knife brands, but that is all a part of theyr philosophy of never compromising on quality.

Sheaths are made of specially tanned leather, and treated with saddle grease for increased lustre and durability.
The particular shape of the Norwegian sheath bears evidence of long-time functional development and at the same time it enhances the quality of the knife.
