Helle Harding is by many considered to be the no.1 among the Helle classics. True to its Norwegian heritage, this knife has accompanied many of our fans' adventures all over the world.

The beautiful, warm handle is made from curly birch and darkened oak. Blocks of wood that is separated by layers of colored leather. The handle has then been hand sanded to its barrel shape and polished by hand to a masterpiece.

The full-length stick tang blade is made of triple laminated stainless steel. Sharpened with a traditional scandi grind and hand polished to a razor-sharp edge.

The Harding comes with a beautiful and classic sheath of high-quality leather.

“Where a knife like this really shines for us here at Howl, is in the colder weather. The stick tang contains the metal of the handle inside the wood, so as to insulate your hand from conduction to the blade. In those colder months, perhaps in the Boreal north woods, an Axe becomes a crucial heavy cutting tool and the knife can be lighter and more wieldy than a full tang knife. This stunning knife is one I’ve considered an icon for years, and I’m stoked to be able to bring it to the Howl Store” - JD
