HE70: Lappland Hunting Knife

Helle

The Helle Lappland knife pays homage to the rich knife-making traditions of northern Scandinavia, particularly embraced by the indigenous Sámi people. This versatile tool, known as Lauku, is designed for daily use in their mobile lifestyle, featuring a non-laminated 12C27 stainless steel blade that is thin yet effective for slicing. Its barrel-shaped birch handle, adorned with brass fittings, ensures a comfortable grip for medium to large hands. Nestled securely in a traditional leather sheath and fastened with a leather strop, the Lappland is an indispensable companion for outdoor adventures, complementing a smaller knife to form a dynamic duo in any tool collection. Named after the breathtaking Lappland region, which encompasses parts of Finland, Norway, and Sweden, this knife embodies both functionality and heritage.

A traditional camp knife of Norway.
Owned this knife for 13 years now. I own many "camp" knives, but this is the one I always come back to, it just preforms and feels perfect to me and my needs in the "greate outdoorse". It has been used as my main camp knife alongside a small folder or "tollekniv" to mainly create a camp fire or clear a fishing spot from branches or young trees. If the firewood is wet I can use the knife to carve or chopp off the wet outer layer to get to the dry core of the firewood. The 12c27 steel is easy to sharpen on a wetstone and keeps the edge better then many budget steels, and its very stain resistant wich makes It perfect as a camp knife near seawater or the many fjords here in Norway. The scandi grind is easy to modify to your needs and the thin blade (3 mm.) makes the knife nimble in use for its size. The beautiful traditional leather sheath design dangels freely on your belt so the knife moves out of the way off branches or vegitation, or when you crouch or sitt down.This knife is in my opinion one of the best on the market.

One Helle of a Big Knife
As far as I can tell, the knives produced by Helle each reflect very well the vision of smooth and pretty lines in a traditional Skandi style. The Lappland is the big boy example of this vision, on the edge of "knife" and almost into "short machete."The bigness here starts with the smooth, thick handle that is big enough for large hands but not excessively big for most adults. The simple pommel cap shows where the rat-tail tang attaches after traveling through the entire handle. The matching bolster is also quite thick and extends the handle a few quarters of an inch. Without a guard, this extra length is important for keeping one's fingers off the sharp portion of the blade, which begins immediately upon exiting the bolster.The blade is relatively thin given its length, but is flat and quite broad beyond the short skandi grind. The laminated steel is strong and pretty hard, particularly at the cutting edge where it matters most. The grind produces a wickedly sharp edge that holds its shape--thus its sharpness--through an extended period of chopping and slicing. The simple drop point on the blade shares this sturdy sharpness even while carving wood.The sheath is functional at best, and though it sports some charming embossing work and other bits of skandi flair, the loose-hanging leather loop guarantees that this heavy blade will repeatedly smack against one's thigh even when tied down at the tip. This tool would do better with a different, custom-made sheath, or with a backpack to attach it to.All in all, this is a nice example of a gigantic skandi style knife, but at this size the disadvantages of the traditional skandi design really stand out. Take the Lappland for what it is, but not for your main trail knife.

Cons: None
a real " do it all knife"
On market there are many knives hyped as do it all camping/survival/hunting knife but this one of the few REAL " do it all" knife. It is almost one year I bought it and from the first moment was in my excursion/camping bag. Weight is light, sharpness is very good altough not razor sharp, steel is 12C27 which is not one of the new "super steel but is more than adequate. What is a little strange is the grinding angle which is a bit too ample, I have resharpened the knife at a 15° angle but is not really necessary.
