Helle Arv Knife

Description

Featuring a drop point blade made of Helle s renowned triple laminated stainless steel with a razor sharp Scandinavian grind, the Arv dispatches cutting tasks with ease. The deeply contoured wooden handle is tangibly satisfying, providing positive control for detailed projects like carving. Each knife comes with a Nordic style sheath made of rich tanned leather. For thousands of years the traditional Norwegian knife has acted as the everyday utility tool, hunting and fishing companion and armament when needed. Throughout Scandinavian history the knife played such an important and symbolic role in daily life that they were often buried next to men, women and even children. Beautifully finished knives were seen as both keenly functional and a stylish way to display social status and wealth. The Norwegian word for this custom is Arv, meaning heritage or the act of leaving something behind as an inheritance.
