Helle Knives: True Nordic Quality for Every Adventure

Helle – Brand Review & Overview

Helle is a Norwegian knife maker with roots back to the 1930s, known for handcrafted outdoor knives that balance Scandinavian beauty with true field durability. Built in Holmedal, Norway, Helle knives are made in many careful steps by skilled craftspeople, using natural materials like curly birch, leather, and traditional laminated steels to withstand demanding Nordic conditions.

The Helle lineup includes classic stick‑tang bushcraft and hunting knives, full‑tang wilderness blades like the Nord, and even traditional pocket knives, almost all featuring a Scandinavian (Scandi) grind for easy sharpening and excellent woodcraft performance. Distinctive wood handles, polished metal fittings, and hand-stitched leather sheaths give each knife a timeless look while remaining highly functional for carving, camp chores, fishing, and game processing.

As you browse this brand, think about how you roam outdoors: light hiking and carving, serious bushcraft, or hunting and fishing trips. Choosing the right Helle model—compact all‑rounders, robust wilderness blades, or heritage-inspired folders—ensures you get a knife that feels warm in the hand, sharpens simply in the field, and carries a strong sense of Nordic craftsmanship in every cut.
