The Helle GT 14C28N is a rugged Scandinavian workhorse with the size and strength to take on a wide range of outdoor tasks. Originally designed by Gunnar Lothe in 1997, the GT has earned a reputation for its capable, straightforward design, and this version brings that proven platform to modern 14C28N stainless steel.
Its 4.84" blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel and measures 3.2mm thick, providing a solid foundation for demanding camp, hunting, and general outdoor chores. The stick tang construction adds dependable strength, while the substantial profile gives this knife the presence of a serious field tool.
The 4.88" handle combines curly birch, leather, and an aluminum guard for a traditional Scandinavian look and a comfortable grip. The natural wood brings warmth and character to the design, while the leather accents and aluminum guard add durability and visual contrast. Helle dresses this version in a genuine black leather sheath with white stitching, creating a sharp finishing touch that complements the handle.
At 7.13 ounces with the sheath, the GT 14C28N carries enough substance for serious outdoor work without becoming excessive. It's a practical choice for anyone who appreciates traditional Norwegian knife craftsmanship paired with dependable modern materials.
