Helle Blade 96 (Viking)

Very solid laminated carbon steel blade with forge scale. This was from a few years ago when the blade was offered as “Tollekniv” - great for woodworking. Handle on this one is walnut with Axis Deer antler bolster and leather spacer. Thanks, Ragweed Forge!

I needed a new working knife on the farm. This is a nice, carbon steel, laminated blade! I used the Lauri 18x35x3 guard. There was minimal fitting required for the guard, maybe 20 minutes with a file.

I used lignum vitae and leather disks for the handle. I opted to use a pin to backup the epoxy on the handle. It was TOUGH to drill through. That's some hard steel!

Nice blade, very fast shipping. Thank you

Pleasantly surprise by the heft of the blade and I like the look. My intention is to put it on a slightly more sophisticated handle than the Helle Viking design. Always happy with my purchases from Ragweed Forge.
