SHOP CASE KNIVESCrafted in Norway by the skilled hands at Helle, the Gaupe embodies the company’s proud tradition of outdoor craftsmanship. Built for versatility and control, this fixed blade has the balance and poise needed for demanding wilderness work—whether that’s carving, slicing, or handling camp chores deep in the backcountry. Every inch of the Gaupe reflects careful attention to detail, with a profile that feels natural and secure in the hand even after long hours of use.
The 4.02-inch triple laminated stainless steel blade holds a keen edge and resists corrosion in wet, cold, and unpredictable environments. Its Scandi grind offers unmatched sharpness and easy maintenance, making it a trusted tool for hunters, hikers, and bushcrafters alike. The drop point design allows for precision when you need it most, while maintaining the strength to tackle tougher cutting tasks without hesitation.
The curly birch handle is warm to the touch and beautifully contoured, each piece uniquely patterned by nature itself. Hand-finished and polished to a soft luster, it’s shaped for comfort and stability, pairing traditional Norwegian aesthetics with modern functionality. The included genuine leather sheath is both rugged and refined, offering reliable belt carry and long-term durability for years of hard use.
