Helle Viking 96 — this knife is a modern take on the classic Norwegian design, crafted to celebrate the global voyage of a replica Viking galley. While it has historical significance, it's also an incredibly effective tool for your everyday tasks.

The blade features a solid core made from H3LCA carbon steel, touted as triple laminated by the manufacturer. This steel is wrapped with soft stainless steel on both sides. The hard core (with a blade edge hardness of 59 HRC) ensures excellent performance, while the softer layers provide added durability. It's worth noting that, in contrast to another variant (H3LSS), the H3LCA carbon steel doesn't offer as much resistance to corrosion.

Helle knives are known for their ease of sharpening and excellent edge retention. The handles are crafted from high-quality hardwoods, while the sheaths are made from thick, soft leather treated for moisture and dirt resistance.

The handle on this knife is made from birch wood. Birch is one of the most traditional and popular materials for knife handles, and its texture allows it to be shaped into almost any artistic form effortlessly. This material is often used in hunting knives.
