The Helle Eggen is a popular stout hunting knife, with a wide 4" drop point blade. The Eggen is so popular that they decided to make a batch of these out of the very well known 12C27 stainless steel (~1" wide, .125" thick). The substantial curly birch handle is about 4 1/2" long and is shaped to form a finger guard. It feels really solid in the hand and is comfortable for both medium and large hands. The knife and sheath weigh about 5 3/4 oz. Quite a comfortable all around knife
