Helle Nying

I bought the first Nying from Ragweed a couple months ago for woodcarving. I just got a second one to use for camping and in the woods. It works really well for carving but am starting to use the second one around the house and will use it camping this summer. The knife is very easy to carry and use. The knife grows on you, it just feels good in your hand. You get a good grip and it is very sharp. Redbeard at Ragweed was very helpful and got me really nice wood on the handle.

This little knife feels great in the hand. The handle is thick enough to make for a secure grip and give good control. The blade is sharp and agile. The dangling sheath rides like it is not there at all which is a very nice feature. This is an excellent companion for a day hiker, light weight, unobtrusive and dependable. Love this little knife!

In 1985 I bought my Helle Nying, some brown cheese and a beautiful sheepskin on my way to visit Lyse Abbey in western Norway. That small knife has never left my side, still in daily use. Cod, flounder, trout and halibut. I used it for a thousand everyday things as well. It has crossed the atlantic many times and the pacific twice. A treasure.

I have used RagWeed Forge for years now and Have nothing But Great Experiences when Purchasing I always find cheaper prices than anywhere Else and Their Customer Service is Phenomenal

I have purchased a number of knives from Ragweed Forge over the years and have always had excellent service. This is the second Nying I’ve owned, first one my father brought back from a trip to Norway 25 years ago. That one is pretty well worn, so this is a replacement. Helle being hand made, are always a little different - this one is top quality and a beautiful handle that Ragnar hand selected for me by request. Shipping was quick, price reasonable, service from Ragweed is outstanding.
