Helle Speider HF5

The Helle Speider is a purpose-built fixed blade designed to meet the needs of young outdoorsmen, new bushcrafters, and anyone who values traditional craftsmanship in a reliable, compact package. Proudly made in Norway, the Speider carries the mark of Scandinavian knife-making excellence, where simplicity, function, and durability come together in one dependable tool.

At the heart of this knife is a 3.5-inch drop point blade crafted from 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel. Known for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, this blade is built to handle camp tasks, carving, and food prep with ease. The mirror polished finish not only enhances the steel’s natural beauty but also makes cleaning easier in the field. At 1/8 inch thick, the blade strikes a perfect balance between strength and control—light enough for fine work, but stout enough for regular use.

The handle is shaped from natural birch, giving it a warm, organic feel and a secure, comfortable grip. Slight contouring allows for control without being overly aggressive, making it especially suitable for those learning proper knife handling. The stainless steel guard provides a bit of added safety, preventing the hand from sliding forward onto the blade—an important feature for new users and seasoned campers alike.

This full tang knife measures 7.875 inches overall, making it compact enough for belt or pack carry without sacrificing usability. It comes with a bonded leather sheath that holds the knife securely while offering traditional Scandinavian styling and rugged durability. Whether you're building your first fire, whittling kindling, or cleaning up a fresh catch, the Speider is built to be by your side.

The Helle Speider is more than just a beginner’s knife—it’s a finely crafted outdoor companion made to last, ready to pass from one generation of adventurers to the next. Order it today from SMKW!
