acquired a Helle Eggen knife after years of drooling over it\u2019s beauty. \u00a0After returning to Boulder, CO for a short visit this past January, a trip to the Fjallraven store was definitely in order. \u00a0When I lived in Boulder I never had the extra funds to get one but always thought they looked amazing and seemed very durable, quality knives for the price. \u00a0This year I purchased the Helle Eggen.<\/p>\n<p>Helle is a knife maker that hails from Holmedal, Norway. \u00a0As a producer of fine knives, Helle has been around since 1932. \u00a0They seem and claim to be a maker of honest knives. \u00a0Helle produces tools which are designed to stand the test of time by offering outstanding durability for specific uses in mind. \u00a0On their webpage, Helle claims their knives are to look as good to the eye as they feel in the hand. \u00a0I can say that my Eagan is no exception to this. \u00a0It feels great right out of the box.<\/p>\n<h2>The Original Packaging<\/h2>\n<div

very nicely assembled. \u00a0Blade material on this knife is triple laminated stainless, with a drop point shape which is 3.1mm thick and 101mm in length. \u00a0Philosophy behind the triple laminated design is focused on edge retention and corrosion resistance. \u00a0The inner layer of this blade is what has the sharp point. \u00a0This inner layer is able to be sharpened to a fine edge which is not as corrosion resistant as the outer layers. \u00a0To protect the inner layer, there are two outer layers which are extremely corrosion resistant, but don\u2019t hold an edge as well. \u00a0The result here is an extremely functional blade that is purpose built for field use with minimal care until you get home to clean it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_584\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter

belt for carrying but because of the finger notch is fit only for left side carry or cross draw for righties. \u00a0Either way it is very nicely made and will last a long time with the proper care.
