Helle's also come with a very nice leather sheath too.
But, what really caught my eye with this Nord, is that it's a full tang knife. The blade steel is 14C28N. Now, I think Helle has another full tang knife like the Nord, except smaller but, similar. I can't remember the name of it either.
At any rate, it seems Helle came out with the Nord over a year or more ago and even longer ago with the smaller full tang blade they have. I've evidently been behind the times as far as Helle goes.
I first saw the Helle Nord in an email thru Knives Ship Free (KSF) - When I first saw it, I loved it. You knkw how it is...sometimes you see something and you know you want it. But before I committed to buying I wanted to see some reviews on this knife.
Glad I did. The Nord has gotten some really good reviews. I was really glad to see it handle batonning and other stressful duties very easily.
And, I can tell ya, she feels fantastic in hand.
The blade length is right at 6" I believe. And, as mentioned the ergos are great.
Although, the Nord didn't come as nearly sharp as the Jegermester did all those years ago. But, that's very easily remedied.
Thus far I really like this knife & sheath a lot!
The only thing I've done thus far is add a little Walnut Oil to the Curly Birch Scales (Mahoneys Walnut Oil) and I'll wax them with Meguiars Ultimate Wax tomorrow. Below is some pics of when I got her and before and after pics of the Walnut Oil.
