Traditional Field Knife Designed by Les Stroud

Product Description Since its inception in 1932, Helle knives have been crafted and distributed based on a core set of values: honesty, hard work, and quality. These principles form the foundation of the Helle philosophy, shaping the essence of Helle knives through their history, origin, craftsmanship, and ethos.

Each Helle knife undergoes up to 45 meticulous manual processes, ensuring precision and excellence in every detail. The sheaths are skillfully crafted from specially tanned leather, while the handles feature the distinctive curly grained birch wood.

Helle Mandra - Traditional Field Knife Every Helle knife is unique by design, yet they all embody the same underlying philosophy. We take great pride in introducing the Mandra, a collaborative creation by Helle and Les Stroud, known as "Survivorman." To refine the design of this exceptional knife, we ventured to the untamed landscapes of Romania, working alongside Les Stroud during his latest Survivorman expeditions. Handmade in Holemdal, Norway since 1932.

This reverence for tradition is evident in our knives, many of which draw inspiration from classic designs. We cherish the handcrafted finishes that have defined Helle knives over generations. Our past is not a burden but a bridge to the future, infusing each knife with a piece of our legacy.

Trust and Community Family tradition runs deep within Helle, extending beyond management to include second- and third-generation factory workers. Our close-knit community fosters a sense of trust and familiarity that resonates in the quality of our products.

Celebrating Individuality No two Helle knives are alike, as each one receives personalized attention from skilled artisans. Individuality enhances the quality of our knives, showcasing the best of Helle's heritage, craftsmanship, and community.

Crafted to Endure With three generations of expertise, our craftsmen meticulously produce knives at our Holmedal factory. Each original Helle knife undergoes a rigorous process of up to 45 manual operations, culminating in a product of outstanding quality and durability.

Superior Materials Crafting exceptional knives requires selecting premium materials that complement the blade's design and functionality. Our handles often feature the exquisite curly grained birch wood, either alone or in combination with materials like leather and stag horn.

The Nordic Sheath Our sheaths are meticulously crafted from specially tanned leather, treated with saddle grease for enhanced shine and longevity. The unique shape of the Norwegian sheath reflects a legacy of functional excellence, elevating the overall quality of the knife.

Unique Steel Composition What sets Helle knives apart is the triple laminated stainless steel blade. This innovative construction includes a high-alloy steel core for long-lasting sharpness, surrounded by layers of tough stainless steel for added strength and corrosion resistance.
