Raud Small Folding Knife
The Helle Raud Small Folding Knife is a slim, lightweight Scandinavian pocket knife that combines sturdy construction with everyday practicality. With its deep-oiled red birch handle and a 2.7 mm Sandvik 12C27 stainless blade, it is small enough for true pocket carry yet capable of real outdoor and work tasks.
The Helle Raud Small Folding Knife carries the same Scandinavian work-knife DNA as the Raud Medium in an even more compact package. Designed for those who want a truly pocketable companion, the Raud Small offers a slimmer, shorter profile while retaining a 2.7 mm thick Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade for dependable cutting performance and corrosion resistance. Its deep-oiled red birch handle is shaped for a secure three-finger grip for most hands, giving excellent control in a knife that disappears in the pocket when not in use.​
A reliable backlock mechanism keeps the blade solidly in place during use, making the Raud Small a trustworthy choice for fine carving, line cutting, and everyday chores around camp, workshop, or home. Weighing around 80 g with a folded length of roughly 80 mm, it rides comfortably in a pocket or small pouch, ready whenever a sharp, precise edge is needed. Built in Norway with Helle’s focus on practical design and field-ready durability, the Raud Small is ideal as a minimalist standalone EDC or as a backup to a larger fixed blade.​
