Helle Bowie Blade 60 (Discontinued Years ago)

Very pleased with this one! Stainless blade has great balance and is great for chopping. Always happy with Lauri blades and the service and selection at Ragweed Forge!

If you’re reading this, you have probably been researching this little knife. I have had mine for about one year. I have used it in the kitchen to get a feel of it. Slicing fruit, and chopping vegetables. It’s a small knife, so it’s more of a pairing knife, not an Ulu. If you take your time, it will do the work. I forced a patina with vinegar so it wouldn’t rust, but still dry it thoroughly. It’s easy to sharpen, great in the hand, and has a wonderful, simple design. Timeless really. Cheers from Chicago.

I’m a wood carver and my knives are made out to old straight razors and the old timers are gone and I need to make them for the next generation. My questions about what steel was answered quickly and respectfully and I was directed to the Lauri blade. I had to reshape it and thin the blade to best fit my needs. It held up well and holds a razor sharp edge.

Great material will buy again and again. Red beard is the best.

5 star rating for us.

This is a very attractive and well made knife. the polished steel is very nice and the wood in the handle is exceptional, as is the sheath. But the main reason I like this knife is its size, it is not too small to be useful or too large to be unwieldy. It feels good in the hand.

One of my top three favorite blades from the Norwegians.
I utilized Masur Birch, Linen Micarta and leather for this fine gift for a friend.

Looks great fast shipping!

I am a new wood carver/whittler. Found my new knife got dull quite quickly. The Rje 4 sided strop brought the edge back to nice and sharp very quickly. Good purchase. Thank you.

These are nice and inexpensive. Added mine to a wood coaster I made.

Maybe not the perfect size, but is perfect for my project. Will happily buy again.

The cork handle is comfortable and great to work with when your hands are cold and wet. The blade was almost shaving sharp. It was my son’s prized birthday present.

This knife is everything one could ask for in an EDC knife, excellent steel, super sharp and a handle that fits my hand securely. The wood is fantastic, as is the sheath. Plus, the excellent Ragweed Forge customer service. I got the knife super-fast. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
