The Helle Eggen 12C27 Knife brings a new dimension to one of Helle’s most popular models, offering the same trusted design and ergonomic feel as the original Eggen, now equipped with a non-laminated Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade. This fully hardened blade provides a stiffer flex and can be easily modified to feature a sharp spine, making it ideal for those who want to use their knife with a ferro rod for fire-starting in the outdoors.
The Eggen 12C27 features a beautifully crafted handle made from a single piece of carefully selected curly birch, hand-sanded and polished to a satin finish. A well-proportioned finger guard ensures safety and comfort during extended use. The knife is complemented by a striking black genuine leather sheath with silver stitching, perfectly matching the aluminum butt at the end of the handle.
Designed by Gunnar Lothe in 1998 and updated in 2021, the Eggen 12C27 is a versatile and reliable companion for bushcraft, camping, and general outdoor use.
Intended Use Cases
- Eggen (Original): Ideal for general outdoor tasks where corrosion resistance and edge retention are prioritized.
- Eggen 12C27: Better suited for bushcraft requiring ferro rod compatibility and a stiffer blade.
