Fjellkniven 12C27 Knife
The Helle Fjellkniven 12C27 is a beautifully simple, versatile outdoor knife designed for hiking and mountain adventures. Its Scandinavian craftsmanship and ergonomic curly birch handle make it ideal for whittling and a wide array of outdoor tasks.
The Fjellkniven (Norwegian for "mountain knife") draws on a heritage dating back to 1934, with the fourth generation now featuring a high-performance Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade for enhanced durability and sharpness. Its stick tang construction balances strength and weight, while the elegantly proportioned curly birch handle suits most hand sizes and is slightly oversized for guided, precise control during carving or camp chores. The blade’s polished scandi grind offers effortless cutting right out of the box, and a subtle finger guard boosts safety when handling close to the edge. Completing the package is a premium leather pouch sheath, designed for simple, secure carry and inspired by Norwegian hiking traditions. Whether carving, food prep, or field dressing, the Fjellkniven 12C27 stands out for both its beauty and utility.
