The Helle Nordlys Knife is an multipurpose full-tang outdoor knife named for the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) so prominent in Norway. It is light enough to bring on any adventure from bushcrafting to backpacking to car camping, and has a very utilitarian blade shape. It is often used for food preparation, making kindling for campfires, throwing sparks off ferro rods, sharpening sticks, carving and more.
The blade of the Nordlys has a scandi grind and a slight drop point. Its full-tang construction gives this knife wonderful balance. It is hand crafted from Alleima 14C28N stainless steel and hand-sharpened to a razor-sharp edge.
The handle of this knife is made of carefully selected curly birch wood and has two rivets and a grommet hole that allows you to throw it on a carabiner or cord. The shape and length of the handle has enough space to use a forward grip for fine cuts and a pommel grip for chopping.
The Nordlys knife comes with a genuine leather belt sheath.
This beautiful, practical knife is hand made in Holmedal, Norway by Helle's highly skilled artisans in the Helle factory, which is perched on the edge of a fjord. No two Helle knives are identical, as they are handcrafted with natural materials, but they are all inspected manually after the crafting process is complete to ensure perfection.
Personalization: Up to 10 characters can be custom laser engraved on the blade of the Helle Nordlys knife.

The Helle Norway Story
Helle knives are crafted by hand in the Helle factory, which is situated in the village of Holmedal, Norway on the edge of a beautiful fjord. The factory was founded in 1932, and while it has evolved from the factory initially operated without electrical power, the hands of skilled craftsmen are still its cornerstone.
Helle knives, though beautiful, are made to be used and are rugged enough to stand up to the wild mountains, fjords and open seas that surround the factory. They are designed and made by people who use them in this wild environment. In other words, they stand up to the real world.
Each Helle knife is unique, as it is hand made from natural materials.
