Helle Blade 99 (Harding)

The knife is beautiful and fits in my large hands securely. The contouring on the front and back of the handle makes for a secure and comfortable grip in different positions. I prefer it to my Eggen for this reason. The blade came razed sharp out of the box. My only complaint is the sheath. I don’t like the appoint. Which looks juvenile and gimmicky to me. But that’s just aesthetics. My real problem with the sheath is the poor fitment of a plastic insert. Ir does not sit flush with the side of the sheath like in my other Helle sheaths and tends to catch on the blade when I put the knife back in the holster. The knife draws easily enough and is very secure in the sheath, but I have to carefully a lie in the knife to put it back in. I think this is a quality control rather than a design issue.

5/5 for the knife. 2/5 for the sheath.

This is one beautiful knife. The workmanship on the birch bark handle is exceptional. The handle is also practical. It fits my large hand perfectly and it feels secure. I am not concerned about it slipping. The sheath is also great, well-made and a nice belt loop. Ragweed customer service is super too. Redbeard is very knowledgeable and gives good advice.

This is a great puukko knife. It is well made. The craftmanship is superb. The stained curly birch handle fits my large hand perfectly and is good looking. The blade is nice and sharp. The sheath is exceptional - great belt loop. Finally, Ragweed customer service is tops. Redbeard is very helpful w/ advice.

Super sharp right out of the package! These are incredibly versatile as general purpose Sloyd knives. Having already owned and used the 3.25" blade #106, I wanted to try the 2.5" #120 for even finer controlled cuts. I love the toughness and ease of sharpening of the carbon steel blades. I cold-blue them and keep them oiled to prevent rust. the handles are very comfortable and ergonomic, and provide a very positive well-controlled grip. The included plastic sheath is tough and affords good blade protection. Ragweed Forge offers a very fair price as well as expeditious shipping! Highly recommend!

Another flawless Roselli. Also, another flawless experience with Ragweed Forge.

I love these fillet blades. I used a combination of antler and leather on the handle.

Great blade. Ships fast. Great customer service.

New to knife handle making. I love the finish look of this wood.

Great blade!!! Would definitely recommend.

The perfect size crappie fillet knife. Made a special gift for a nephew.

Fine piece of steel. Several hundred years of use in Norway sorta says it all. Beautiful blade.

The blade is awesome it was my first knife build and I'm so happy I ordered another one the shipping was very fast too

Received this must have for collectors promptly and am stoked having it. In fact, I had ordered Ragweed's #1 leather sheath for it in advance. The perfect pairing. A forced patina made the combo complete. Thanks as always Ragweed Forge for great products at fair prices and personal service!!

This is my second Wood Jewel knife pair they very good I believe for the price. Redbeard was awesome to deal with A1 customer service recommend Ragweed forge to anyone looking for that old school customer service and quality products.
