HELLE Knives - Viking - Traditional Fixed Blade Knife - 4.33" Triple Laminated Carbon Steel Blade with Curly Birch Handle and Leather Sheath - Made in Norway

This is a replica of an edc knife meant for most all cutting tasks of daily life at about 900 AD. A nice solid tool. Might have issues if used as a stabbing tool. Sharp, traditional design, Thick enough and fits my hand. Value is in the eye of the beholder.

A lovely traditional puukko knife with curly birch handle. Mine came sharp with a symmetrical grind. Keep in mind…..hand made knives very in their fit and finish, especially with a rough finished “Viking knife”. I got this mainly as a collector knife, but I have no doubt it would perform well in the field. I prefer to use my BPS and Mora knives for a daily work. Helle did a good job with the knife. I’m happy with the purchase. P.S. the leather sheath is a beautiful traditional design.

Item was received in excellent condition, on time (early actually). I am extremely happy with my purchase. Blade is laminated well, with smooth transitions along the length of the blade. It has held up well in the last 72 hours, in which I've put it through some stress. Blade shipped with a true razor quality sharpness from factory, not some silly hack-saw-through-paper finish. It will be difficult to reproduce this sharpness without some good attention to detail. Blade had a light layer of grease when shipped, and they advise to to keep it oiled or greased because of the mild steel laminates. Handle is an attractive curly birch, hard and smooth, but shaped well enough that you don't feel yourself slipping on it at all while using the knife. I would recommend this to a friend, but maybe a more 'experienced' user. There is no blade guard, which I could understand might be an issue for someone that is perhaps reckless or over excitable. Overall, very happy with the quality of the knife. True Scandinavian quality.

This knife will be worn as a neckknife using the provided sheath. I bought it primarily for field dressing deer and also as a patch knife for muzzleloader shooting. This knife is very sharp and I have no doubt it will cut. It fits my hand nicely and will be comfortable to use. The curly birch handle and simple design makes this knife a perfect choice for me.

Excellent quality sturdy traditional knife. Solid and great to look at.

I bought this knife because i read great reviews and lets be honest, its a freakin Viking knife hand made by a great company. For the average Joe yes, this knife is awesome, but coming from someone who knows knives, the con's i have listed are unacceptable from such a good company. HELLE, STEP UP THE QUALITY CONTROL!!! Pro's - Its got a nice leather sheath Beautiful finish and handle CRAZY SHARP BLADE!!! Sweet history behind the knife. Con's - Looking at the blade from behind, it has a slight curve to the left. The Scandi grind on the blade is uneven at the handle. The full tang is pretty skinny which leave more desire for weight in the handle.

Bought this for a companion to my hatchet would definitely not jab anything even tho I can grip it well there is no finger guard. It's a knife for cutting not chopping down the rainforest. The blade is super thick looks like it can take some abuse. The sheath is nice too. Becareful when you pull this out first time its in there tight almost stabbed myself lol. Very nice knife happy with purchase. Fast ship.

Unbelievably poor quality for a premium price. The pictures clearly show that somebody went absolutely bonkers with this knife on a belt grinder. I've seen better grinds on $20 Pakistani knives. This blade has burns from overheating during the grinding process and they didn't even bother trying to deburr it. That being said it's in no way a true scandy grind. It's convex on the left and concaved on the right. The cutting edge doesn't run parallel with the spine. The grind is centered at the plunge line but immediately begins wandering to the right. This knife will never cut true unless I was to spend hours reprofiling and refining this edge. Their competitor produces better knives in the $10 to $20 range. They should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for charging so much for such poor craftsmanship. Seeing as how their guys can't seem to get this right maybe they need to either fire them, or invest in some grinding jigs! Basically what I'm saying is don't buy this knife without being able to visually inspect it first. There's way too many companies out there who produce a far superior product and actually take pride in what they send out the door when you get in this price range. Helle should be ashamed!!!!

Es un cuchillo espectacular tanto visualmente como funcionalmente.

sondern auch als treuer Begleiter auf Wanderungen, oder auf dem Spaziergang durch den Wald. Wie allgemein bei Kohlenstoffstahl, ist die Klinge nicht rostfrei, was aber im regelmäßigen Gebrauch durch den Kontakt mit öligen und fettigen Lebensmitteln kein Problem darstellt. Kommt das Messer nur gelegentlich zum Einsatz, hilft das Einreiben mit Öl (Salatöl, Ballistol, etc.) Großer Vorteil von Kohlenstoffstahl: Er lässt sich leichter schärfen und erreicht eine höhere Schärfe als legierte, zähharte Klingen aus rostfreien Stählen. Hauptsächlich habe ich mir dieses Messer für Mittelalterveranstaltungen gekauft, da es in seiner schlichten, rustikalen Art und hohen Qualität an Authentizität nicht zu übertreffen ist. Und wäre in den Köpfen der denaturierten Allgemeinheit das Messer keine Waffe sondern eben ein vielseitiges Werkzeug und dessen Träger nicht als Böse oder zumindest als gefährlich einzustufen, sondern einfach nur ein Mensch der Freude an den schlichten ursprünglichen Dingen hat, naturverbunden, der sich in seinem Alltag sowohl beruflich als auch privat mit vielerlei Schneidearbeiten konfrontiert sieht, so würde ich dieses Schmuckstück allein als Zeichen meiner Mentalität auch in der Öffentlichkeit am Gürtel tragen.

Small compact and well made.

Un coltello magnifico, un po' dispendioso ma vale la spesa...lama bella robusta e affilata, manico in legno molto ben fatto! Esteticamente molto rustico ma allo stesso tempo elegante...consigliatissimo per chi vuole un oggetto di ottima qualità anche se spendendo qualche soldo in più di molti altri coltelli economici ma non dello stesso livello

Meraviglioso !!
