Helle Knives Fossekallen Triple Laminated Stainless Steel Fixed Blade

What I liked about Helle initially was its approach to making knives. It's traditional and practical. It's been ongoing for decades and the process takes time to complete so that each and every piece is to the utmost quality. You believe that immediately when you take the knife out of its packaging too. The Fossekallen has a comfortable handle and an extremely sharp edge. The sheath is sturdy and thick, with a button-closure. The knife is ready for use and the craftsmanship will keep it going for a long time, especially if it's maintained. While I don't buy knives in this price range often, I saw it more as an investment. Given the quality of the knife and its versatile usability, I figure I'll have it my entire life (hopefully). That said, it's worth every penny because not only is it a beautiful knife, but it's useful in the kitchen, in the backwoods, hunting, fishing, camping, you name it.

This is of course a great product made by a great knife manufacturer. Shave your face sharp out of the box so be careful if this is your first real knife. If your familiar with knife manufacturers, real ones I mean not like buck, gerber and the like, that make china cheap throw away knives then this is no surprise. Great weight just a few ounces so it wears very well, beautiful wood handle that works in any dress situation, balance is also great.

Razor sharp, flawless construction. Well worth the $$. Knife and sheath make a wonderful addition to my hunting arsenal. Takes and holds a superb edge, came from the factory razor sharp. Handle is finished with a matte clear coat that provides a non-slip grip.

One of the best knives I have ever owned. Out of the box sharp. Does easily show finger prints. Update- I reduced the number of stars because of the sheath being cut from inside. I didn't notice this at first, but only handling it a few times the sheath is completely sliced through. I could not find contact information to see about getting new sheath. Most knives i have with leather sheath do not cut that easily because they have a insert to protect the leather. I continue to look for replacement sheath but have not had any luck.

Nice knife with expected details for a hand made product. Handle has some small areas that feel a little rough, also is not completely simétricas, don't think that was on purpose feels more like differences due to handmade manufacturing process. Probably the sharpest out of the box knife I have bought (also have a fälkniven F1 pro and a Morakniv)

I really like the hand fit of this knife . The blade is the sharpest I have ever had on receiving the knife. Looks great too, and I like the laminated blade. The wood handle has a nice grain to it. It should have a stouter sheath though.

This little bushcraft knife is my new favorite. Beautiful curly birch handle with an amazing blade that can shave hairs off your arm right out of the box. Comes with great instructions on how to care for your knife and how to best sharpen it. It's so lightweight and the sheath is very well made with excellent seams and a perfect fit. I'm very pleased with this knife and am excited to carry it on every one of my future outdoor adventures.

The knife is beautiful and it feels better than it looks in hand. The biggest issue is that it is almost too smooth in texture. I know, I won't use it. I'll probably use one of my other ugly knives to beat up on instead.

This blade is actually 90mm, not the advertised 100mm. 1cm makes a difference.

Petit couteau à lame fixe, très bien fini, avec une belle pochette en cuir. Le tranchant sortie de l’emballage est celui d’un scalpel. Un produits pour les fans de couteaux qui apprécient le sens du détail.

Ich kann Roberts Argumentation nicht folgen. Er meint, dass das Messer scharf und der Griff schön ist. Auch die Scheide sei gut verarbeitet und das Messer habe etwas Liebenswertes an sich. All dem stimme ich zu. Wieso aber dann nur zwei Sterne? Wegen einer kleinen Kerbe im Griff, oder weil er die Größe des Messers überschätzt hat? Man muss halt auch die Produktangaben lesen können, oder sich bei YouTube einen Eindruck der Größe verschaffen. Das Messer ist klasse und der Preis angemessen PUNKT.

Das Foto täuscht: Es kommt eher ein Messerchen als ein Messer. Die Klinge misst knapp 9cm, es wiegt gerade mal 77gr (ohne Scheide). Die Klinge ist ohne Frage sehr scharf. Der Griff ist nicht ganz sauber verarbeitet: Sehr kleine Kerbe am Griffende, aber eben Kerbe, die man ungerne spürt. Die Lederscheide ist einfach, aber gut verarbeitet. Der Text auf der Verpackung betont die solide Handwerksarbeit und Handarbeit hat natürlich ihren Preis. Dennoch bin ich enttäuscht, weil man zu diesem (mittlerweile sogar noch gestiegenen) Preis auch ganz andere Messer in der Hand halten kann. Ich werd es dennoch behalten, denn es hat irgendwie etwas Liebenswertes und der Holzgriff ist schön. Nach Praxiserfahrungen werde ich diese Bewertung updaten.

ce petit couteau bien utile, bien fait, et bien pratique est de très belle qualité, comme d'habitude avec les produits Helle.
