SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Helle Eggen is a knife built with one purpose—dependable performance in the field. Made in Norway and shaped by decades of Scandinavian knife-making tradition, this fixed blade is as rugged as it is refined. With a 3.98" triple laminated stainless steel blade, the Eggen offers a razor-sharp edge, solid corrosion resistance, and impressive durability all in one clean, satin-finished drop point profile. It's a blade that’s ready to field dress game, carve wood, prep campfire meals, or take on daily tasks without hesitation.
At 1/8" thick, the blade has enough backbone for light batoning while staying nimble for precision work. The triple laminate construction sandwiches a high-hardness core between two layers of softer stainless steel—giving it edge retention where it counts and added toughness throughout. It’s a blade you won’t need to baby.
What really sets the Eggen apart is its handle. Made from natural curly birch, each handle is unique, with swirling grain patterns that catch the eye and a warm, hand-filling shape that feels right from the first grip. Whether you're skinning, slicing, or just carving for fun, the contoured handle offers excellent control with a touch of timeless craftsmanship.
The knife weighs just 5.5 ounces with the sheath, striking the balance between sturdy and lightweight. Speaking of the sheath—it’s a traditional Scandinavian leather belt sheath that holds the blade snugly and securely, allowing for worry-free carry in the backcountry or around camp.
Built for bushcraft, hunting, and everyday carry in the wild, the Helle Eggen is the kind of knife that gets handed down—not tossed aside. Order it today from SMKW!
