This scout knife has a wooden handle with a red painted cap and a steel guard for safety. The blade is made of high-quality stainless steel with a scandi grind. Every Helle knife is meticulously crafted in their factory in Holmedal, western Norway. Skilled craftsmen put in great care and attention to detail in creating each knife. The process involves up to 45 different manual operations before the knife undergoes a thorough inspection and approval. As a result, each knife is unique! Please note that due to the organic nature of the materials used, there may be variations in color and pattern.
