Title: Helle Harding
Post by: Joe Subler on December 26, 2010, 08:10:00 AM

I am in the process of finishing a Helle Harding knife.  Any one got any pics of their finished Harding blades that I can get some thoughts on how to finish it?  My handle wood is birch but may change that up a bit.

Cheers,
Joe

The harding blade is my favorite blade. I think its the best all around blade to have. I have done several but no pics to show you, sorry.

This is a Helle blade but not the same one you are using.

Thanks guys,  I think I've got the handle decided on.  When I finish it I'll see if I can figure out how to post a pic and put it up and see who can guess the wood.

Cheers,
Joe
