Dele Outdoor Chef Knife
The Dele Outdoor Chef Knife is a premium, Norwegian-made camp and kitchen knife that blends European chef and Santoku profiles with a polished Alleima 12C27 stainless steel blade and curly birch handle for serious outdoor and home cooking. Built for durability and control, it offers a full flat grind, 160 mm blade, and ergonomic handle that excel at slicing, chopping, and food prep at the campfire, barbecue, cabin, or home kitchen.
Developed in collaboration with outdoor-focused professional chefs over a two-year period, the Helle Dele is designed to bridge the gap between traditional kitchen knives and rugged outdoor tools. Its highly polished Alleima 12C27 stainless steel blade (59–61 HRC) delivers excellent sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, while the thick spine and full flat grind provide a balance of slicing finesse and chopping strength. The blade shape combines elements of a classic European chef’s knife and a Santoku, giving a versatile profile that works equally well for fine cuts, push-cutting, and larger prep tasks.​
The handle draws inspiration from Helle’s traditional outdoor knives, with a full-bodied, ample-bellied curly birch grip and vulcanized fibre liners that enhance comfort and visual appeal. A flat bolster allows a secure pinch or front grip for precise chopping, while the contoured handle supports relaxed slicing and more forceful cutting when needed. The Dele comes with a fitted leather blade protector for safe storage and transport, making it ideal for camp kitchens, cabins, and home use alike.​
