Futura – Curly Birch

An old favorite is returning to the Helle lineup. The Futura was originally launched in 2002, and quickly became a favorite due to its beautiful lines and functional drop-point blade.

The knife was designed by German Helle fan Herman Wolf, who envisioned it as a modern Scandinavian utility knife that would perform well both as a camping knife and a hunting knife. 4½” triple laminated stainless steel drop point blade with a curly birch handle with stacked leather and aluminum spacers. Includes leather belt sheath. Overall length: 8⅝”

Since early times, the Norwegian knife has been an important companion in everyday life. Norwegian knife manufacturing today is clearly influenced by traditional shapes and materials that were established hundreds of years ago. A well-made leather sheath and handles of wood, leather, and antler seem to be a legacy that Norwegians want to preserve. A/S Helle Fabrikker is dedicated to honoring this legacy by developing knives that are on the leading edge of technology, yet still maintain the traditional look and feel of a truly Norwegian knife. Unique in Helle knives is the laminated stainless steel used to produce a tough, razor-sharp blade. The technology was developed by their company in cooperation with a Norwegian steel mill. This high performance steel is available only in their knives and gives each blade a unique combination of high strength and long lasting sharpness. Laminated steel is another Norwegian tradition that is rarely found in other parts of the world.
