Fossekallen 12C27 Knife
The Helle Fossekallen 12C27 is a compact, all-round outdoor knife inspired by Norway's national bird. Its stainless Sandvik 12C27 blade and curly birch handle offer versatility, reliability, and a comfortable fit for small to mid-size hands.
Named for the proud Norwegian dipper, the Fossekallen 12C27 is a modern update to a beloved Helle classic, now featuring non-laminated Sandvik 12C27 steel for even greater versatility. The well-balanced design provides a secure grip and precision control for all types of bushcraft, hunting, or camp chores, while the stick tang construction ensures both light weight and durability. Its curly birch handle is hand-shaped for comfort, and a snap-type leather sheath offers secure and traditional carry. The Fossekallen’s thoughtful proportions make it ideal for those with smaller or medium hands, blending Helle's signature Scandinavian craftsmanship with tried-and-true usability.
