Helle Yeah! New Helle Alden is Sharp

Helle is a Norwegian based knife maker well known for their superb craftsmanship. Since its founding in 1932, Helle’s philosophy hasn’t changed: quality handcrafted knives made by skilled craftsmen. Both the blade and the handle of every knife are handcrafted by a skilled Norwegian craftsman, some with decades of experience, making each knife truly one-of-a-kind.

Helle Alden – MSRP: $119

This knife features a 106mm (4.17in) long blade made of stainless Sandvik 12C27 steel with full tang. The handle of the Alden is made of curly birch and includes a small finger guard with two stainless steel fittings. Weighing in at 145g (5.1oz), the Alden is well balanced and designed to fit the hand perfectly.

I’ve eyed up a beautiful cork-handled Helle Hellefisk filet knife for a while now. Every time I pick up a Helle knife I’m always impressed by the construction and I’m blown away at the prices. I’ve consistently seen knives for twice as much that didn’t even look half as good.

Helle Hellefisk – $79.95

    I’ve never handled a fillet knife with a cork handle, I can only imagine how nice and light it must feel! I’m not even sure what wood species is at the other end of my blade, but for something like this I could consider switching. :)

    The best thing about the cork handle on this knife is that it also makes it float! Also I prefer a stiff blade for my filet knives, not those crazy ones you watch guys bend 60 degrees with the point in a cutting board.

    I can’t believe the craftsmanship at that price point!
