HELLE Viking classic edition knife - 4.33 inch blade - Curly birch handle

The Viking is a revision of a Helle classic that was produced as part of a fund-raiser for an around-the-world- cruise of a Viking longship. The knife is notable not only for its historical interest, but also as an excellent all around utility knife. The thick blade is made of laminated carbon steel with a rustic look black finish thanks to heat treatment during manufacture. The tang of the blade is peened over a diamond shaped washer and the handle is subtly shaped for comfort and control with a variety of grips. It comes with the traditional sheath that hangs from a thong.

The Helle philosophy of Built to Last is reflected in all of their knife products. By opting for traditional craftsmanship rather than the usual high production low quality methods used by other manufacturers, Helle of Norway produce exceptional knives that are actually designed to be used even though they look pretty pleasing to the eye ! The unique triple laminated steel that Helle use for all their blades ensures a lasting razor sharp edge with excellent protection from breakage and corrosion. This process makes a more expensive steel but Helle insist on not comprimising on quality in any aspect of the knife creation. Even the materials used for the knife handles and leather sheaths are carefully selected to ensure the process of grinding polishing and oiling is performed to maximum benefit of the product.
