Wonderful knife for collection. Exact copy of the Viking knife. It turned out to be back 1,000 years ago
Helle Viking Fixed Blade Knife 4.25" Laminated Carbon Steel Drop Point, Round Birch Wood Handle, Genuine Leather Sheath - 200096
Part #: HE96 | Helle Knives
Description
HE96: Viking
Helle
The Viking knife is a contemporary reinterpretation of a Helle classic. This version was originally crafted as part of a fundraiser for a global expedition aboard a Viking longship. Its barrel-shaped handle, while tapered for a secure grip, boasts a minimalist beauty that echoes designs over a thousand years old. Suitable for hands of all sizes, this knife is best wielded by those with experience, as it lacks a finger guard, encouraging careful use. Featuring a robust, laminated carbon steel blade with a sleek black finish from heat treatment, the Viking's narrow tang extends through the handle, pinned in place with a diamond-shaped washer for durability. It comes with a traditional back-sewn leather sheath, designed to hang effortlessly from a belt loop, making it both a practical tool and a tribute to Viking heritage.

Helle #96 (Viking) and #52 (Fjellmann) blades
Awhile back I bought 2 Helle blades with the idea of putting handles on them. Both are very nicely made (i.e. perfect as far as I could tell) and also the *sharpest* I've ever bought. The "Viking" blade profile is really timeless: 4.25" long, around .15" thick and .90" wide, with a modest drop-point. You really can't do any better for an all-purpose belt knife.

Mora is better by far!
This is an awful product. I have had it for a few years of hit and miss use. Camping with fire making and shelter building mainly. From day one it hurt my hand with the sharp V shape of the handle where you wrap your fingers around it? What in the heck is that all about? There’s no bolsters or pommels ect. At this price range, people expect more. Comfort, at the very least. The sheath is so seriously cheap and thin, it’s insane at this price point! The blade is not bad, but I’ve never been a fan of laminated blades. 1095 is cheap and tough, holds a great edge,so if I am after a lower to mid price blade, that’s a great go to. A Mora is every bit as good, if not better, at a fraction of the cost.
