SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Helle Spire stands as a precise, compact tool built for control and balance in demanding outdoor environments. Its clean lines, lightweight frame, and refined craftsmanship make it a trusted companion for carving, slicing, and daily field work. Designed for those who value finesse as much as function, the Spire delivers the kind of performance that’s earned Helle its reputation among serious outdoorsmen.
The 3.03-inch Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade offers an exceptional combination of strength, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The Scandi grind provides precise control for fine woodworking or camp tasks, while the straight spine design adds versatility in use. Tough enough for wilderness duty yet agile in hand, the Spire is as capable on a mountain trail as it is by a campfire.
The handle is crafted from beautiful curly birch, shaped for comfort and reliability in all conditions. Each piece is hand-sanded and finished to bring out the natural grain of the wood, ensuring no two knives are alike. Its tapered profile and smooth contours fit perfectly in the palm, allowing for fatigue-free use even over long sessions of carving or field dressing. A premium leather sheath keeps the Spire securely stored and ready for the next challenge.
