My Helle Knife Stock is Replenished

The Helle knives that I had requested have finally arrived.

Helle Knife Unboxing

Here is my modest shipment of Helle knives. I ordered a total of six knives.

Helle Knives

Here is a group shot of three Helle Knives. I had high hopes for this shot, posed on top of the Helle catalog and all — but it came out rather sad...

The knife on the left is the Viking, The Viking is made of carbon steel, and other than where the blade is ground and sharpened the blackish gray heat treating color is left on the blade. The Viking has a leather sheath with a belt loop strap and this sheath allows the knife to be on your left or right side.

The knife on the upper right is the new Utvar. The Utvar is Helle's first full tang knife. This knife has a curly birch handle with a brick red liner accent and a leather sheath. The handle has two rivets, and they are open through the handle so a lanyard could be tied to the knife if desired.

The bottom knife is Helle's always popular Eggen. This is one of Helle's most popular knife. It is more typical of knives that are popular in Europe — smaller, and with less bell's and whistles. All the knife one needs and no more.

Helle GT Fixed Blade Knife and Leather Sheath

This is the Helle GT. I think it is the only Helle knife that has a metal bolster, the GT has a stainless steel bolster.
