Sigmund Knife
The Helle Sigmund is an all-purpose Scandinavian outdoor knife crafted to honor 80 years of Norwegian knifemaking tradition. It features a beautifully stacked handle of beech, dark oak, and leather, along with a razor-sharp triple laminated stainless steel blade, making it a standout for bushcraft, camp chores, and collectors alike.
Originally designed by Sigmund Helle in the 1930s and updated by his son Torodd in 2012, the Sigmund is a true heritage piece that blends antique style with modern materials. Its medium-sized handle is hand-shaped and sanded to a satin finish for comfort, offering safe grip with a subtle but essential finger guard. The blade is crafted from Helle’s triple laminated stainless steel, offering both robustness and edge retention, polished for a mirror finish and classic Scandinavian grind. The Sigmund comes with a premium leather sheath, produced and finished with old tools for unique character and Norwegian authenticity. This knife reflects the spirit of both practical use and family artistry, ideal for medium to large hands and a wide range of outdoor uses.
