The Helle Hellefisk is a lightweight Norwegian knife with a cork handle that can float on water. Originally designed as a fishing knife, its versatility also makes it well suited to hiking, camping, outdoor food preparation and everyday outdoor activities. Weighing just 64 grams, it is one of the lightest knives made by the Norwegian brand Helle.
The knife's most distinctive feature is its barrel-shaped natural cork handle. Cork is exceptionally light, comfortable to hold and feels warm even in cold weather. Its buoyancy keeps the knife afloat if you accidentally drop it in the water. This feature is particularly useful for anglers, paddlers and anyone who enjoys spending time by the water.
The Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade is 123 mm long and just 1.3 mm thick. It has a traditional Scandinavian grind and comes very sharp from the factory. The thin blade allows precise, comfortable cutting, whether processing fish, preparing food or carrying out small tasks outdoors.
The knife was designed in 1992 by Norwegian designer Tor Indergaard. It comes with a traditional genuine leather sheath for comfortable carrying on a belt. The Hellefisk combines simple Scandinavian design, practical features and a long tradition of Norwegian knife-making.
