Description

The Helle Eggen Knife (H3LS) is a 4-inch bushcraft and woodland knife that is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who prefer a lighter tool. This best-selling design by Helle features a curly birch handle, providing a comfortable grip even in wet or cold conditions. The handle is sanded and polished to a satin finish, giving it an elegant appearance. The well-proportioned finger guard ensures safety during use.

The Eggen Knife boasts a Helle triple laminated stainless steel blade with a classic scandi grind. This drop-point blade has a pronounced belly, making it ideal for game preparation and versatile cutting, stabbing, and slicing tasks. The deep bevel grind allows for easy sharpening and cutting of natural fibers. The blade’s composition of multiple stainless steels exclusively made for Helle ensures excellent edge retention and ease of sharpening.

This knife has a strong rat-tail tang construction, and its balance is enhanced by the blade size in comparison to the handle.
