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 Arv knife is worthy of its name and heritage. In Norwegian, the name means inheritance – truly appropriate for a treasured item to be passed down for generations -- just like the methods used in its making.
The Arv Belt Knife features a san mai, drop point blade made from H3LS (Helle Triple Laminate Stainless). This combines a stainless high-carbon razor steel core developed by Helle with outer layers of 304 stainless steel. H3LS steel provides a razor-sharp edge that is less likely to chip and is very easy to sharpen. The blade is hardened to 58-60 Hrc to ensure excellent edge holding. The 90 degree spine works perfectly with a ferro rod when lighting fires. The blade features a Scandi grind which is a favorite of bushcrafters and outdoorsmen worldwide.
The stacked handle combines sections of masur birch and polished reindeer antler. Leather spacers set between the segments add an elegant contrast and will help the natural materials adjust to humidity and temperature changes. The contoured handle fills your hand and provides a comfortable grip.
To keep the knife close at hand, a traditional leather sheath is included.
Handcrafted using traditional methods in Holmedal, Norway.
