Nord (North) is more than a direction. It also represents strength, darkness during winter and light during summer. The extreme shifts in nature between the seasons, the connection to nature and the effect it has on us for that same reason is how we at Helle see ourselves as a part of the culture of the north.
The Nord knife is developed to meet the demands of the Scandinavian Wilderness. Sprung out of our traditions as knife-makers and taken one step further than what is normally seen from us at Helle. This knife combines our history with how we have developed as a new outdoor generation. Sometimes using our tools differently than what our ancestors would have done.
With a 3,7 mm thick 14c28n blade and a sharp shine it will take on most challenges thrown at it. Still thin enough for cutting properties and strong enough for most tasks on your adventures.

It arrived in peak condition and is the ideal carry knife for camping, hunting, or just tromping through the woods. Quality knife that I look forward to handing down.
The Helle Nord knife and sheath is a great pair. Both are high quality pieces. The blade came razor sharp. I especially liked the the handle. It fit my hand perfectly with room to spare. I’m an average build but have extra large hands and the Nord’s contoured long handle was very comfortable. I highly recommend this item!
Excellent shipping time, excellent quality, well worth the investment for an essential outdoor tool. I purchased the Norde and it is everything the field reviews have stated. weight, material, and great balance.
Like any Helle, it’s beautiful. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are second to none — but what really makes these knives stand apart from others is the functionality.
This knife does it all, basically. Camping chores — from chef duties to whittling and kindling — are a cinch for this knife. Hunting. Bushcraft. This knife can do it.
It’s important to know, it’s big. It’s a large knife, best suited for larger hands. My personal favorite from Helle is the Utvaer because of its smaller size and better fit for me. But if I had to choose one knife for life, it’s probably the Nord.
The Nord is a complete bushcraft and outdoors knife in a durable stainless steel (14C28N) and well-shaped profile that is neither bulky nor super compact. It's just the right size for pretty much every activity outdoors activity and is solid to hold and use. It's also rather easy to maintain as the steel does not chip easily (if at all) and is easy to strop/sharpen if need be.
I personally own the Temagami, Utvaer and Mandra as well which are all fantastic knives too and the Nord exemplifies the best traits in all 3 (except the compactness of the Mandra). This is a fantastic knife you cannot go wrong with.
