Helle | Arv Knife

Named for the Norwegian word for “inheritance,” the Helle Arv reflects generations of Scandinavian knifemaking tradition. Handcrafted in Holmedal, Norway, it combines natural materials, thoughtful design, and everyday functionality in a knife meant to last.

Its compact drop-point blade features Helle’s signature Scandinavian grind, while the contoured handle provides a comfortable, secure grip for carving, camp tasks, and general outdoor use.

Each knife includes a traditional Nordic-style leather sheath with a belt loop for convenient carry. Natural variations in the wood and antler make every knife unique.

Handle Care: Wipe the natural wood, antler, and leather handle clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged soaking, excessive heat, and harsh cleaning chemicals.

Sheath Care: Allow the leather sheath to dry naturally if exposed to moisture. Avoid storing a wet knife inside the sheath.

Recommended Use: Ideal for carving, camp chores, and general outdoor cutting tasks. Avoid prying, twisting, or heavy batoning.
