The Nord has been really good for trips where I want to cover a lot of ground, but am not carrying an axe. If you needed to cut up some dry, fallen branches for a fire, or build a shelter, you could do that, and the Nord will excel as with food prep and basic trail/camp chores. It is reasonably light and rustproof, a really good companion on the trail.
Grandissimi!!! Non vi siete fatti scoraggiare dalle nuove regole del vostro paese e avete continuato per la vostra strada come sempre!!! W i Partigiani 😉💪
I had my order in the second this knife went public, after years of badgering Helle about making a larger, full tang knife, with a bigger handle. I have been using it heavily ever since. It was great for camping trips last summer, and I use on the trail quite a bit. It limbs as well, or better than some bigger choppers because it is so slicy. My only complaint has been that one side of the handle was shaped a little too round - more round than the other side. I had to sand it down and re-oil it, but that is not unexpected with a semi-production Scandinavian knife or tool. My Nord has held an edge remarkable well. I run a ceramic rod over it from time to time, and strop it on my pant leg between uses, and just keep it sharp all the time. Surprisingly light relative to the amount of chopping it can do.
Finely handcrafted knives, with a sharp edge that lasts for years and years. Perfect for fishers, hunters, bushcrafters. Stainless steel, which is softer, so the knife can survive in the damp country of norway. Americans/dutchmen: is this an axe?
@@bradfarrahgerwing154 I have a Helle skinning knife, and have recently been interested in getting the Nord and the lappaland, wow good to hear the great feedback, because I havent been able to justify an aus8 equivalent steel for 180-250 when I can just buy another Bradford with magnacut or 3V steel, but I love Helle Knives, they are fantastic.
It's pwetty.. I like the look of all their knives. Maybe one day I'll pull the trigger and buy one. It's the type of knife you have to budget for but well worth it if you do.
I bought a helle fire knife years ago. Because it sounded so cool. It turned out to be a fantastic little knife. It didn’t hold its edge too well but it was so easy to sharpen. Really like this brand. I also bought a Kellam wolverine which is also an awesome knife. And also sounds cool Both are better than balls
This is one of the best channel's on RU-vid for this kind of content I was thinking that if their outlawing knives in your part of the world go deeper into the woods visit muscled hammer guy
So how long until you guys put together a “Sisu” video? The knives, the philosophy, the throwing a mine at a Nazi’s forehead. I saw the preview and I feel like this is your kind of thing to explain. If I remember right, the woods were given to Martin by his grandfather. I bet grandfather was a sisu kind of man.
That is a good looking steak bros ❤️👍. You might as well make or buy a small smoker . Water , favorite smoking wood and turn it on . Smoked brisket is my favorite or some strip steaks . Anything works , love it . Have never tried a chicken tho but smoked salmon is also the shyit.
Great knife all around. No bouncing off the planks with the throw test, no shattering with the pellet rifle. And no metal drum rim drumming. Who are you, and where's Martin and Mikky?
Bought a Helle Nord knife 🔪 and very happy with it. I cut myself twice with shortly after receiving it. I've done some silicon wrap on it to make it less likely for me to cut myself lol
Ever since I first saw this knife it immediately went to the top of my knife-related bucket list. I am a HUGE HElle fan and have been for decades. This knife tops them all.
Can you do a sharpening video on this blade and se how sharp you get it mates? Sort of a updated how to sharpen a scandi blade also with your fabolus diamond sprays and strop
So glad you guys got a good un , my Nord turned up pretty much serrated, so many machine marks , handle didn’t get its final sand , basically a $400 AD project knife 🤬🤬🤬🔪🔪🔪
To think that Mora's new knives are in the same price category as this knife is absolutely insane. The value for your money is sop much better with the Nord.
@@The_Northerner yeah I know what you’re saying, but its just hard for ME to comprehend somebody buying/paying a 240$+ knife and it NOT BEING a Bark River or even something more high end…I mean would YOU personally buy one of these 250$ Helle Nords in 14c28n over a MagnaCut/Cru-wear/3V Bark River for the around the SAME price +-20$ depending on model? I’d take the American made/warranty/Amazing steel/fit&finish/convex grind Bark River Bushcrafter, Gunny, Aurora, or Bravo EVERY TIME
@@shadeshiest22 Why would you buy a Bark River tho? It’s like buying from China, but instead of supporting a communist regime, you are supporting Mike Stewart, a crook like his father before him, that used to scam people by selling O1 marked as CruWear and A2 as Magnacut. A guy that, when exposed, threatened to physically harm and sue who exposed him on public platforms like Twitter or bladeforums. The same guy that under treats every steel or doesn’t hold up to his own warranty. Using “Bark River” as comparison to build an argumentation, it already makes it flawed.
@@shadeshiest22 Yeah man, they just released a new series of full tang blades with ash scales, and the largest retails for $250. All Mora says about the blade steel is that it's "recycled Swedish steel."
Though it's more of a hunting knife, give the Buck 119 Special in 420HC (your favorite of all stainless steels) a try. I'm sure it will get plenty of views and comments, if it makes it even half way through your tests, it would be pretty interesting.
Great vid lads! Would love to see the Condor Heavy Duty Kukri, and the tops power eagle. I think the power eagle might even top the storm vector…who knows? And the condor HD kukri has been touted as the only survival tool you need
I have a Helle Sylvsteinen and really like it. It's perfect for a number of applications, and it's about $100 less expensive. I don't plan to baton or chop with it, so full tang is not important to me,
Loved hearing the beautiful dutch language in full display when discussing the bird of prey. 8:51 Sounds like a gnome clearing its throat while falling down a small staircase
Excellent review gentlemen.....I don't own a Helle but I have admired their finish - it might be time for me to buy one. I guess the mirror-ish Finnish on the blade reduces friction, making the feathersticks a smooth task? As smooth as the DBK boys delivery?....🤮🤣 Well done, usual high standard.
@@seanleipziger9167 I opted for the 110, for comfort. In my state you could legally carry a sword. Though the cops will approach you. And they probably have no idea your William Wallace Claymore is totally legit.
Helle has always had some fit n finnishes misses here and there but makes decent blades i just wish they could change to a little better steels. And yes norway aint cheap hehe as a alone father after my fiance left i wosh i could afford more stuff but i cant. Hope ya dutch devils are doing well mateys.
@@DutchBushcraftKnives yes siry boobs but at that price it could have been better steel also. Maybe some 3v or similar. Even magnacut at that price in my eyes. 14c28n isnt a bad steel but it could be better at that high of a price. Lionsteel and others makes better steel blades for around samme price.
when it comes to norwegian knives the one that is a good old companion is a sami style knife from "Knivsmed Strømeng". If you have not tried one of their knives, i would highly reccomend you do.
I still use my first bushcraft knife ever. The Hultaforce OK4, that i bought after seeing your video for budget knives. I ve been looking for the perfect knife to spend some more money on but i think i rather buy a few more different cheap knives first.
@@EinsPerson Nothing to consider at all! Buy the 14 cm puukko, and you will have a big brother for your OK. Not only is the knife a brickhouse, but the sheaths are awesome too.
That is in general a good idea. Handle shape and material, sheath material and also of course the many different steels, shapes and length of the blade. And of course price. There are a lot of more budget friendly options out there.
If you don‘t want to spend a fortune I highly recommend Joker Knives! They are handmade in spain and they come with such quality it is ridiculous you can get them for under a 100€. Got the Nordico because I wanted a scandi grind for my bushcraft knife, but they have knives with all sorts of grinds.. They have excellent wood handles but also ship their knives in micarta if you‘re not into wood. Highly recommend the Joker knives.. too many people are missing out on them! ✌️
It’s cool but the ultimate survival knife I think not their buddy pal friend. I’ll stick with my LT Wright Gen 3 in 3v scandi ground non polished micarta handles 3/16 full tang sharp 90 degree spine 😜
How would a thicker blade affect the batoning and feather sticking abilities of this knife? When is the DBK survival knife going to become a reality? Asking for a friend.
You guys have to test PSRK knife from Ali, it has sandvik steel, fulltang, mikarta as handle material with nice furniture. I have many bushcraft knifes and this one is really worths. And less than 80$ price. I can ship you one if you want
