Helle Utvaer 12C27 - 600
Utvær is developed in collaboration with Jesper Voxnaes, a Danish knife designer with a reputation for crafting beautiful and durable knives. This item aims to meet the needs and demands for a stronger field knife, with a modern take.
The Utvær is a full tang knife equipped to withstand the demand in traditional Bushcraft use. The scandi grind 12C27 steel offers exceptional durability. Thin enough to perform as a knife should when cutting or carving. Two rivets reinforce and hold the hand sanded curly birch handle to the knife. The extended pommel is designed for rougher tasks.
* In 2021, the Utvær was upgraded with a newly developed deeper sheath in genuine, high quality leather.
The knife itself fits in like a medium size knife with a handle size perfect for small to medium size hands.
