Does anyone have experience with Helle knives?
I think one would be the perfect addition to my traditional set up.
I hear they are a very good company but been hearing rumors their QC has gone down recently.
Kellam is another option.
Mora also. Affordable and easy to sharpen.
Havalon knifes are awesome
NOTHING beats my knife TG member "Graps" made me.
Haven't built a Helle knife lately so I don't know if quality has gone down, but they used to be great knives. Wingnut sells them send him a message, he should be able to tell you. Most of the knives from Scandinavia are great Mora knives are inexpensive and great knives also. If you do a web search for Scandinavian knives their are a lot of makers.
I have a couple that I'm pleased with but I've had them for a while. Unique, easy to sharpen and reasonably priced.
I have a Helle that I made. Bought the blade and a block of wood. Also made the sheath. Use it for a neck knife, have never gutted a deer with it but it has cut up lots of salami at camp. :thumbsup:
I have one that I handled a few years ago and it works great. With a short blade and a good handle it does a lot of field work very well.
I have a couple of older ones. They are very good knives.

Helle blades are awesome. I have had mine for several years now and love it.
Replacement blade type knives are good if you can't sharpen a blade. I have used them before and Im not really a fan of them because they are so easy to break. Just my .02 worth.
