Designed in 2009 the Helle GT is one of their larger knives at nearly 9.5 inches. Helle GT is a knife with a substantial guard. It is a big knife, but the lack of pommel and the use of aluminum for the guard keeps the weight down. It is an excellent choice for those who like a fairly big knife with a guard. The blade is made of triple laminated stainless steel. The knife comes with a snap type leather sheath. Maintenance Helle knives are designed to retain their sharpness as a lifelong outdoors companion. But it is still important to take care of your knife and its sheath. The Handle. Dry the handle with a soft cloth if wet and wax occasionally. The Sheath. The leather needs to be impregnated occasionally with colourless impregnation agent (grease or wax) to keep supple. Dry the sheath carefully in room temperature if it becomes wet. The Blade. Wipe the blade with a soft cloth if wet and treat with grease occasionally. Knives made to be used. The wild mountains, fjords and open seas combined with generations of outdoors men are the inspiration for our design. Each knife is designed with a specific task in mind. The purpose of a specific knife may be that it should replace a couple of other tools and be a versatile and multifunctional tool. Or its mission can be to be the best fishing knife around. This does not mean that the Helle knives are plain and not aesthetic. Our knives should feel as good in your hand as they are beautiful to the eye.
