Helle Nord Sleipner Hunting Knife

The winter up north can be cold and hard. The new Nord Sleipner certainly matches it. The stainless 0.14 inch thick steel blade on the regular Nord has been substituted with a 0.15 inch thick and 5.79 inch long Sleipner steel blade.  The handle shape is the same combination of two grips: a front grip for finer details, and a back grip for chopping. It’s the added weight and blade thickness makes this version slightly more geared towards chopping and heavier use. This version also features white liners and a black sheath.

Nord (North) is more than a direction. It also represents strength, darkness during winter and light during summer. The extreme shifts in nature between the seasons, the connection to nature and the effect it has on them. For that same reason is how the people at Helle see themselves as a part of the culture of the North.

The Nord knife is designed to meet the demands of the Scandinavian Wilderness. This knife is sprung out of their traditions as knife-makers and taken one step further than what is normally seen from the people at Helle. This knife combines their history with how we have developed as a new outdoor generation. Sometimes, it’s just by using their tools differently than what their ancestors would have done.

The Helle Nord Sleipner Hunting Knife is constructed of a 5.79in Uddeholm Sleipner Steel drop point blade. This full tang fixed blade knife has a Curly Birch handle with vulcanized fibers, an ergonomic grip, and a lanyard hole. This knife comes with a black leather sheath and a belt loop. It’s 11.18in overall and it weighs 15.87oz.

Note: Sleipner is a tool steel that will rust if exposed to humidity over time. Wipe the blade after use and apply a thin coat of oil to protect the blade on a regular basis.
