Product Description
From the start in 1932, Helle knives have been made and sold based on the same set of principles of honesty, hard work and quality. From these principles the Helle philosophy has evolved from the past, place, people and production that is Helle knives.
- Helle knife goes through up to 45 different manual operations
- Sheaths are made of specially tanned leather
- Uses wood of curly grained birch
Helle Alden - Traditional Field Knife
Each Helle knife is different because we want it to be, but they all share the same philosophy.
The Alden is named after the island Alden. Alden is still an important landmark for Fishermen coming home from the sea. The island is situated just of the coast from where the Helle factory is situated. The Alden has a non-laminated stainless steel blade (12C27) and curly birch handle with stainless steel fittings towards the blade. It has a small and useful finger guard to fit in a pouch style sheath.
- Handmade in Holemdal, Norway since 1932.
- Handle Length = 5.1"(130 mm).
- Blade Length = 4.1"(105 mm).
- Blade Thicknes = .11"(3.0 mm)
- Genuine Leather Sheath Included. Designed by Gunnar Lothe in 2009.
The past is always with us.
Instead of working against history, Helle has prospered and thrived from embracing it. This is represented in our knives. Many are based on traditional designs, and we treasure the handmade finishes that have been the hallmark of Helle knives throughout history. The past is always with us as we embrace the future.
A small piece of our heritage.
The fjords, mountains and rugged climate are not an obstacle, but rather an inspiration. The remote location and small community of Holmedal is not a source of limitation, but a source of strength and identity. Each time we send a Helle knife out into the world, we bring a small piece of our heritage along with it.
Trust and Familiarity.
Family tradition is not just at the management level, we have second- and third generation factory workers as well. We treasure our tight-knit community, and that feeling of trust and familiarity transmits to the products we produce.
Individuality enhances it.
No two Helle knives are exactly the same because each receive individual treatment by human hands. For us individuality does not come at the expense of quality, but rather enhances it. By finishing each blade individually, we are able to bring out the best of the place, past, people and production facilities at Helle.
Built to last

Outstanding craftsmanshipThree generations of hands are working diligently to produce knives at our factory in Holmedal. They work in tandem with three generations of machinery. An original Helle knife goes through up to 45 different manual operations before it passes through our quality control procedure. |
Carefully selected materialsGood craftsmanship requires the ability to create handle shapes which are consistent with the blade, fit comfortably in the hand, and add character to the knife. In most handles, we use the hard and beautifully structured wood of curly grained birch, alone or in combination with matching materials, such as leather and stag horn. |
The Sheath – the Nordic wayOur sheaths are made of specially tanned leather, and treated with saddle grease for increased lustre and durability. The particular shape of the Norwegian sheath bears evidence of long-time functional development and at the same time, it enhances the quality of the knife. |
The steel in Helle knives is uniqueThe differences between a Helle knife and other knives are many. The biggest difference lies in our triple laminated stainless steel blade. The core is made of high alloy steel which gives it a lasting, razor-sharp edge. This harder layer cannot however exclude the threat of rust or breakage. |

I have never paid over $100 for a knife, so I had to take a chance. I am glad I bought this. I had misgivings about the grip, but the protrusions at both ends of the handle ease my mind. I can't say how it holds an edge until I use it, but this is the sharpest blade out of the package that I own.
When I hold this handsome knife, I know that nobody in the world owns one that looks exactly like mine. I look forward to skinning and dressing my deer, next fall. Until then, I really don't intend to use it for any other purpose.
As with some other reviewers, my Helle came with a few quirks and imperfections: in my case, none was at all a problem, and to me these small things add character and show signs of the hand-made/finished nature of these knives and natural materials. For example, the bevel grinds of my knife are not perfectly symmetrical, but this does not affect its function in the least (the edge is still fully within the hardened center laminated layer). The blade did not come shaving sharp, but I made it that way after some quality time with water stones and a strop (literally: I partially shaved with it that day with no more than the usual bloodshed :)).
I've gotten the Viking wet and dirty, dropped it on rocks, and carved several objects (spoons, knife handles, stakes, halloween pumpkins etc.) over the past few weeks, and neither the blade nor the handle have suffered anything aside from minor cosmetic damage, and the edge usually comes back to razor sharpness after no more than a stropping. My one complaint is that the handle is a bit too small for my hands for sustained heavy wood carving (I have to grip it tightly to really bear down which leads to fatigue), but for my general carry-around knife to do a bit of everything, it's hard to beat. I love its looks as well: simple, but high quality; handsome, but not too pretty to use hard. I'll be holding onto this one.
