Features of the Helle Skog Fixed Blade Knife

Triple Laminated Stainless Steel Blade

• The 2.99-inch blade is made of Triple Laminated Stainless Steel, offering excellent sharpness and resistance to corrosion.
• A polished mirror finish adds aesthetic appeal, while the Scandinavian (Scandi) grind ensures exceptional control for carving and slicing tasks.
• Easy to maintain, the blade can be restored to a razor-sharp edge quickly, making it ideal for detailed wood carving.

Ergonomic Beechwood Handle

• The handle is crafted from hand-sanded beechwood, providing a smooth and comfortable grip for extended carving sessions.
• Its contour-shaped design ensures a secure hold, minimizing fatigue and preventing hotspots during prolonged use.
• Slightly more robust than a specialized carving knife, the Skog offers versatility for additional bushcraft tasks while maintaining precision.

Traditional Brown Leather Sheath

• The knife includes a Nordic-style brown leather sheath, made from genuine high-quality leather with a belt loop for convenient carry.
• Compact enough to be worn as a neck knife, the sheath combines functionality with classic Scandinavian design.

A Versatile Carving Knife Built for the Outdoors

The Helle Skog Fixed Blade Knife stands out as a versatile carving tool that also excels in bushcraft. Its compact size, robust handle, and precise blade make it a reliable companion for those seeking creativity and utility in one beautifully crafted knife.

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

• Clean the blade and handle with mild soap and water, then dry completely before applying a protective wax or oil.
• Use a leather knife strop with honing compound for routine maintenance. When necessary, sharpen only with a wet sharpening stone to prevent heat damage to the blade's edge.

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.
