Helle Arv

The blade consists of a hard, high-carbon steel core sandwiched between two layers of softer, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This construction gives you the extreme edge retention of a hard steel while maintaining the toughness and rust resistance of stainless steel.

While the Arv is a robust knife, its stick tang construction and 0.102-inch blade thickness are designed for precision cutting, carving, and general outdoor utility. It is not intended for heavy-duty batoning or prying, which could damage the tang or handle assembly.

The handle is crafted from natural materials—curly birch, leather, and staghorn—which can dry out over time. Periodically treat the wood and leather with a high-quality oil or wax to keep them hydrated and prevent cracking.

The finger guard is small and positioned to provide safety without obstructing the sharpening process. You can easily sharpen the blade using a stone or diamond rod without the guard getting in the way of your stroke.

Yes, the included leather sheath is versatile enough for traditional belt carry or, depending on your preference, can be adapted for neck carry. It provides a secure, friction-based fit for the knife.
