Helle - Lappland knife
Helle - Lappland knife
Helle Lappland follows in the tradition of northern Scandinavian knives and is a tool often used by the indigenous Sami people as a utility knife with a classic look.
Sami people use these large knives (Lauku) in their daily mobile life. This large knife features a non-laminated 12C27 stainless steel blade. The blade is quite thin, allowing for effective slicing. The sterling handle is made of birch with brass fittings. Suitable for medium and large hands.
The knife is placed deep in a traditional leather scabbard and is attached with a leather strap. A great knife to carry at camp, and combined with a classic small knife, it makes an ideal team member in your tool collection.
The name Lapland refers to the northern region that stretches and connects the northern parts of Finland, Norway and Sweden.
