Helle Nord 200670 bushcraft knife

Monday, June 3, 2024

Favourite features: the curve at the end of the handle gives extra retention in your hand and allows you to chop with it as if it’s a much larger knife. The blade thickness makes it light enough to carry easily but still batons well, the steel choice is perfect for a hard use knife like this. I actually reprofiled the edge down to about 12 degrees per side and gave it a micro convex and it has had no edge problems even with hard use. Looks great and works amazingly for buchcraft. Minor drawbacks: I’d like the handle to be a little thicker where it meets the blade because my hand gets slightly sore here when feathersticking and I’d like the sheath to be made of slightly thicker leather. Still, it’s one of my favourites and I haven’t come across a knife of this size and weight I like as much as this.
