A Classic Bushcraft Knife with Lynx-Like Precision

The Helle Gaupe Fixed Blade Knife is a beautifully crafted tool that offers exceptional performance for bushcraft and carving tasks. Named after the Norwegian word for lynx, the Gaupe embodies both beauty and power, making it a dependable companion for any outdoor adventure.

Features of the Helle Gaupe Fixed Blade Knife

Triple Laminated Stainless Steel Blade

  • The 4.21-inch blade is crafted from Triple Laminated Stainless Steel, renowned for its exceptional sharpness and resistance to corrosion.
  • A polished mirror finish highlights the craftsmanship, while the Scandinavian (Scandi) grind ensures superior performance for carving and slicing tasks.
  • The blade’s edge is easily maintained and can be restored to a razor-sharp finish, perfect for bushcraft enthusiasts.

Hand-Shaped Curly Birch Handle

  • The handle is crafted from premium curly birch, sanded to a satin finish for a smooth, comfortable grip.
  • Designed for medium to large hands, the handle features a small finger guard and a classic Scandinavian shape for secure and precise handling.
  • Each handle is uniquely patterned with natural wood grain, adding an individual touch to every knife.

Traditional Black Leather Sheath

  • The Gaupe knife comes with a high-quality black leather sheath, featuring a lynx paw print cutout as a nod to its namesake.
  • The sheath includes a belt loop for secure and convenient carry, blending functionality with traditional Scandinavian design.

A Beautiful and Functional Workhorse

The Helle Gaupe Fixed Blade Knife is more than a tool—it’s a work of art. Its mid-sized blade and ergonomic handle make it versatile and reliable for a wide range of outdoor tasks. Whether carving, slicing, or preparing for bushcraft adventures, the Gaupe performs with lynx-like precision.

Care and Maintenance

Protect Your Knife

  • Regularly treat the blade, handle, and sheath with a natural wax-based protectant to prevent rust and drying.
  • Avoid storing the knife soiled or wet in its sheath for extended periods to reduce chances of corrosion.

Cleaning Tips

Leather Sheath Care

  • If the leather sheath gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature before applying a wax protectant. Avoid using heat to speed up the process as this can cause the leather to dry out and crack.
