SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Helle Knives Temagami is a purpose-built outdoor knife that blends traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship with modern bushcraft performance. Made in Norway and designed for demanding wilderness use, the Temagami offers a rugged yet refined tool capable of handling everything from carving and food prep to firecraft and camp chores. Whether you're navigating dense forest or setting up a remote base camp, this knife is made to be your trusted companion.
At the core of the Temagami is a 4-3/8" triple laminated stainless steel drop point blade, combining edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness in a single package. The outer layers offer protection from the elements, while the hardened high-carbon steel core delivers a razor-sharp edge that’s easy to maintain and holds up to heavy use. With a 1/8" thick spine, this full tang blade has the strength to baton wood, strike a firesteel, and take on tough materials without flinching.
The handle is crafted from curly birch wood, a nod to traditional Nordic design. It’s shaped for comfort and control, even during extended use in wet or cold conditions. The natural grain of the wood makes each handle unique, while the brass pins and lanyard hole add function and visual contrast. It’s a handle that looks as good as it performs and gets better with age and use.
At 9" overall, the Temagami strikes an ideal balance between maneuverability and working length. It’s compact enough for precision carving yet large enough for robust camp tasks. The knife comes with a high-quality leather sheath, designed to ride securely on your belt and provide quick access when needed. The sheath’s traditional styling and deep pocket retention reflect the knife’s Norwegian heritage and field-focused design.
Built with practical features and time-tested materials, the Helle Temagami is a knife that meets the demands of real wilderness use without compromising on craftsmanship or comfort. Order it today from SMKW!
