Helle Audun (2024 Limited Edition)

The 2024 Helle limited edition knife is designed by our chief handlemaker Audun. Starting in 1973, Audun first worked on the cutlery before taking over as chief handlemaker and foreman. For the past 50 years he has worked with and for three generation of Helles and played an integral part of many of our inhouse design. Helle has developed with Audun, and Audun has developed with Helle. “This has been a good job my whole life. After I came home to my wife and kids when they were younger, there would always be a few wood shavings from my clothes on the bathroom floor. Then my wife said to the kids: It is the wood shavings we live from.” This year Audun has made his own favorite knife, based on over 50 years of knowledge and skills. The finished product is a stunning knife that incorporates both the new and old of Helle. It features a classic H3LS laminate steel blade with scandi grind and a slight drop point. The shape and size of the blade makes it ideal as an all-purpose hiking companion. Special recipe handle The handle features two of Audun’s favorite materials. The front piece is made of reindeer antlers, protected in the front by a stainless steel plate. This front piece is effortlessly integrated into a colored curly birch handle. The oil mix used to color the handle is Audun’s special recipe, which creates a dark red and brown hue - a beautiful contrast to the white reindeer antler. It has the added bonus of smelling like you have just started a bonfire. The shape of the handle features the traditional belly that is a feature of many Helle knives, whereas the extensive pommel tips its hat to more recent designs. The knife comes with Audun’s own version of his favorite Helle sheath. As a handlemaker, he loves birch and the symbol on the front of the sheath is a birch tree in the spring time. **** Specifications Audun - 2024 LTD Weight incl. sheath 134 grams / 4.72 oz Blade material Triple Laminated Helle steel, stainless (H3LS) Blade thickness 3 mm / 0.118 inch Blade length 88 mm / 3.46 inches Blade construction Stick tang Handle material Curly birch and reindeer antler Handle length 120 mm / 4.72 inches Sheath material Genuine leather (brown) Design by Helle Design Design year 2024
