The Helle Eggen 12C27 is a premium Scandinavian bushcraft knife that combines classic Norwegian craftsmanship with modern outdoor performance. One of Helle’s most popular and trusted knife designs, the Eggen is highly regarded by bushcrafters, campers, Forest School leaders, and outdoor enthusiasts for its comfortable grip, reliable cutting performance, and timeless traditional styling.
This updated version features a non-laminated Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade, offering excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and easy maintenance in wet outdoor environments. The fully hardened blade provides a firmer, stiffer feel compared to laminated steel, making it ideal for carving, food preparation, feather sticking, camp tasks, and general bushcraft use.
Because the blade is not laminated, the spine can also be sharpened for use with a ferrocerium fire steel, allowing reliable fire lighting in woodland and survival situations — an essential feature for many bushcraft users and outdoor educators.
The beautifully shaped handle is handcrafted from carefully selected curly birch wood, polished by hand to a smooth satin finish that feels warm and comfortable even during extended use. The ergonomic design and integrated finger guard provide excellent grip, control, and safety when working in outdoor conditions.
Supplied with a genuine black leather sheath, the Helle Eggen 12C27 is designed to be carried comfortably on the belt and offers dependable performance for everyday wilderness use.
