Helle Sigmund Dark Birch Outdoor Knife with Leather Sheath
The Helle Dark Birch Sigmund Knife is a special edition of the bestselling Sigmund knife that has been created just for Swiss Knife Shop. The Sigmund is a classic barrel handle hunting knife with a story to tell. This special edition's beautiful handle is made from darkened oak, leather, and stacked dark birch, and is sanded by hand to a satin finish. The Sigmund was created in 2012 for Helle's anniversary, and is a multi-generational collaboration spanning 80 years. The blade was designed by Sigmund Helle in the 1930s, while the handle was created by his son, Torodd Helle, in 2012. The triple-laminated Helle stainless steel blade is sharp right out of the box, has a full stick tang, and is shaped to a Scandi edge and sharpened to razor sharp edge. The handle has a medium grip most suited for medium to large hands. A small finger board guides your hand naturally to a secure position, even when you grip the handle close to the Sigmund's sharp blade. This rugged outdoor knife comes with a genuine leather embossed sheath featuring a belt loop for an easy and secure carry. It has a handsome pattern that pays tribute to its Norwegian origin. 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 Sigmund knife.

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.
