Helle Knives Eggen 12C27 Stainless Curly Birch Fixed Blade Knife

With plenty of traditional appeal, the Helle Eggen has a solid, one piece select curly birch hand finished to perfection and equipped with a larger, modern forward guard than you normally find on Scandinavian knives for added safety. Paired with a solid Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade, the larger blade is ideal for heavier use while still being versatile for fine tasks, making the Eggen a great all-purpose tool.

Brand new, direct from Helle Knives.

Blade: Equipped with a razor sharp modified Scandinavian grind the large drop point blade is strong enough for serious use while delivering excellent performance in a variety of tasks. Made from solid Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, the blade has less flex compared to a laminated steel and can be modified to a sharpened spine for ferro rod striking. A small micro bevel edge makes the scandi grind more robust and easier to sharpen and maintain.

Handle: Through tang construction is lightweight and reliable with a handsome hand shaped and finished solid curly birchwood handle. The handle feels like a functional tool, comfortable in almost any grip you can use, with a generous guard for added safety. As with all Helle knives, the exceptional quality makes this an heirloom piece you can pass down for generations.

Sandvik 12C27: A modified AISI 420, Sandvik 12C27 has around 4 times the carbon for higher hardness. Thanks to a high purity and fine carbide microstructure, this steel delivers good corrosion resistance, high hardness and exceptional toughness, allowing for razor sharpness.

As with all natural materials these handles are unique. Appearance varies from piece to piece.
