Title: My new St. Joe- Helle knife
Post by: Arwin on June 22, 2010, 11:26:00 PM
Saturday at Comptons, Dave and Tracey handed me this incredible St. Joe Helle knife as a gift and it's amazing!!
They took the woods from my bows riser which is maple/spalted maple and used it for the handle. It turned out wonderfully.
 
This knife is very,very sharp, I SOOO cannot wait to use it!

Thanks guys, your the best!      :notworthy:

Great match to the riser!

Good luck bloodying it with something besides your own sample...

gee thats a fine looker ...as a bit of knife enthusiast [ don't get me started on the amount i spend on knives , mostly customs ] i always pack a Helle blade because the edge they have just can't be beat .

Arwin, that is just a beautiful color match. Kind of reminds me of what Forrest Gump said about his girlfriend: "Me and Jenny goes together like peas and carrots"  :thumbsup:

Great looking setup. I've heard good things about the Helle Knives and they're not too expensive either. I may have to get one, nice to hear they hold an edge.

Thanks all!!! This is my first custom knife, pretty cool.

They are a sweet blade Mike thanks for the compliment!!!   :cool:   Dave and Tracey started carrying them too and doing custom handles. I think it's a great way to compliment a bow for sure.   :thumbsup:  

I bet my grandkids will be opening up a deer with this thing.   :campfire:
