Helle - Audun LTD knife - limited
Helle - Audun LTD knife - limited
Helle knife from the limited edition 2024 was designed by our chief craftsman Audun. Beginning in 1973, Audun was first engaged in cutlery production and then took on the position of chief craftsman and foreman. He has worked with three generations of Helles over the past 50 years and has played an integral part in many of our internal projects. Helle developed with Audun, and Audun developed with Helle.
"All my life has been good work. When I came home to my wife and kids when they were younger, there were always a few chips from my clothes on the bathroom floor. Then my wife said to the children: we live off wood chips.".
This year Audun has created his own favorite knife, building on more than 50 years of knowledge and skill. The finished product is a stunning knife that combines both the new and old Helle knife. It has a classic H3LS laminated steel blade with a Scandinavian grind and a slight drop point. The shape and size of the blade makes it ideal as a versatile hiking companion.
Special recipe holder
The handle is made of Audun's two favorite materials. Front made of reindeer antler, protected on the front by a stainless steel plate. The front can be easily integrated with a colorful curly birch handle. The blend of oils used to color the handle is a special Audun recipe, which creates a dark red and brown hue - a beautiful contrast to the white reindeer antlers. It has the added benefit of smelling like you just lit a bonfire. The shape of the handle features a traditional belly, characteristic of many Helle knives, while the voluminous head tips its hat toward newer designs.
The knife comes with its own version of his favorite Helle scabbard, which Audun created. As a craftsman, he loves the birch tree, and the symbol on the front of the scabbard is the spring birch tree.

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
