Helle Nord Sleipner Bushcraft Knife - Scandi

Helle have always made some great knives and the Nord is an absolute doozy. It's the bigger brother to the Nordlys (which I am a big fan of) and this is the knife that gets just about every job done.

The winter up north can be cold and hard. The new Nord Sleipner certainly matches it. We have substituted the stainless 3.7 mm blade on the regular Nord with a 4 mm Sleipner steel blade.  The handle shape is the same revolutionizing combination of two grips - a front grip for finer details, and a back grip for chopping. But the added weight and blade thickness makes this version slightly more geared towards chopping and heavier use. This version also features white liners and a black sheath.

Nord (North) is more than a direction. It also represents strength, darkness during winter and light during summer. The extreme shifts in nature between the seasons, the connection to nature and the effect it has on us for that same reason is how we at Helle see ourselves as a part of the culture of the north.

The Nord knife is developed to meet the demands of the Scandinavian Wilderness. Sprung out of our traditions as knife-makers and taken one step further than what is normally seen from us at Helle. This knife combines our history with how we have developed as a new outdoor generation. Sometimes using our tools differently than what our ancestors would have done.

Note: Sleipner is a tool steel, and as such will rust if exposed to humidity over time. Wipe the blade after use and apply a thin coat of oil to protect the blade on a regular basis.
