HELLE NORWAY - Kletten Knife in Kebony
The Helle Kletten K 662K is a compact bushcraft pocket knife. The blade is enhanced with a scandi-grind, perfect for wood work. With a 5.4 cm blade you won't baton large blocks of wood. Detailed wood carving and other small bushcraft tasks, however, are a piece of cake with the Kletten.
You open the Helle Kletten with two hands. When opened, it is locked by a solid liner lock. As such your fingers are safe during use. The blade is made from a core of hard stainless steel, laminated in between two layers of 18/8 stainless steel. This core has a razor-sharp edge and is easy to sharpen.
The handle is made from 'Kebony' wood. A Norwegian invention that colours and stabilizes wood with residual material from biomass production. As such the material is rock-solid and sustainable. In this case a piece of maple was used. During the Kebony process this wood became very dark. In time, however, the wood will become lighter, and turn slightly grey. Do you prefer the dark brown colour? Occasionally add a couple drops of oil to the handle and you are good to go!
The Helle Kletten K 662K comes with a leather cord. As such you can add the knife to a lanyard or neck cord.
