Helle Arv H3LS - 14
The Arv knife is worthy of its name and heritage. In Norwegian, the name means inheritance – truly appropriate for a treasured item to be passed down for generations. Just like the methods used in its making.
Arv is a versatile, lifelong companion that will handle cutting tasks with ease. This heritage knife has a medium size handle made from carefully selected curly birch stacked together with leather and staghorn. Shaped by hand to a smooth finish suitable for small to medium size hands.
The knife has a small but distinct finger guard and a medium size blade of the finest triple laminated Helle steel. Shaped with a scandi edge and sharpened by hand to a razor-sharp edge.
Each knife comes with a Nordic style sheath made from genuine high quality leather with a belt loop for secure carry. It is small enough for those who like to carry the knife in a strap like a neck-knife.
