Helle Viking 200096

Viking is a version of the Helle Classic series, originally created as part of a collection for an around-the-world expedition on a Viking ship. The handle has a barrel shape but is tapered for comfortable grip, even when not shaped. It offers beauty in its simplicity and has become a modern classic, even though the design is over 1000 years old. This knife works really well in the hands of all sizes, but it should only be used by those of you who have more experience. There is no finger guard, so think before using it. The knife is equipped with a fairly thick blade made of layered carbon steel. Its narrow tang extends to the handle and is fastened in an old-fashioned way with a diamond-shaped spacer. The Viking comes with a traditional stitched leather sheath for hanging with a leather loop on a belt. This knife rusts if not properly maintained.
