Helle Steinbit Fixed Blade Knife 12C27/Curly Birch with Leather Sheath HF115

The Helle Steinbit is a traditional Norwegian fillet knife built for precision and control when working with fish or fine slicing tasks. Designed by Espen Thorup, it embodies the practical beauty of Scandinavian craftsmanship—simple, efficient, and made to last. Whether on a fishing boat or in a campsite kitchen, the Steinbit delivers the flexibility and cutting power demanded by serious anglers.

Its 6.3-inch blade is forged from triple laminated stainless steel, offering the perfect balance of strength and suppleness. The thin, flexible profile glides through fish cleanly, allowing for effortless filleting without tearing flesh or wasting meat. Helle’s laminated steel construction combines a tough, rust-resistant outer layer with a razor-sharp high-carbon core, ensuring a lasting edge that stands up to saltwater, rain, and years of use.

The handle is shaped from natural curly birch, providing warmth and grip even in wet conditions. Its slender, ergonomic form gives the user complete control during delicate work, while the wood’s grain and luster give every knife its own distinct personality. Finished by hand, the Steinbit feels like an heirloom tool—built for both performance and pride of ownership. It comes complete with a custom-fitted leather sheath for safe storage and easy carry.
