Description: Helle is a family company of tradition and craft located a long way from the fast lanes of big cities. Making high quality knives has been the source of 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.
Nipa is a larger version of the Kletten Backlock Folder that allows for a full four finger grip. This is perfect for those tasks that require a full size knife in a folding format for easy carry. Additionally, a reversible deep-carry pocket clip is included on this larger model.
The drop point blade is 12C27 stainless steel, hardened to 59-60 Hrc for strength and durability. 12C27, 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 knife used for many different tasks. 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.
Masur birch handle scales are hand contoured and set on satin finished stainless steel liners. The ambidextrous backlock makes disengaging the blade a breeze. A lanyard hole at the back allows a lanyard to be added to make it easy to be pulled from your pocket. A reversible deep carry pocket clip is mounted for tip-up carry.
Handcrafted using traditional methods in Holmedal, Norway.
