Helle Viking Knife (Norway)

We love the Helle Viking Knife from Norway! This 8-5/8″ overall knife with a 4-1/4″ triple laminated carbon steel blade bring you back to the Viking days where you’ll use this knife in just about any Outdoor situation. This beautiful unique knife has a round design handle made of curly birch. This knife even comes with a genuine viking brown leather belt sheath. Made in Norway.

The tang of the blade is peened over a diamond shaped washer. The handle is subtly shaped for comfort and control with a variety of grips. It comes with the traditional sheath that hangs from a thong.

Maintenance
Helle knives are designed to retain their sharpness as a lifelong outdoors companion. But it is still important to take care of your knife and its sheath.

• The Handle. Dry the handle with a soft cloth if wet and wax occasionally.
• The Sheath. The leather needs to be impregnated occasionally with colourless impregnation agent (grease or wax) to keep supple. Dry the sheath carefully in room temperature if it becomes wet.
• The Blade. Wipe the blade with a soft cloth if wet and treat with grease occasionally.

Sharpening
Use a diamond tool or a wet stone for sharpening. Place the knife bevel flat to the sharpening tool and work the entire blade. Work one side until you can feel a slight burr on the opposite side. Switch side and repeat the procedure until you feel the burr on the first side. You have now established an edge.

Remove the burr by stroking the blade gently over the sharpening surface on both sides, as if cutting very thin slices. Keep the bevel flat towards the sharpener and move from side to side until the burr is gone.
