Helle SKOG

Excellent company to deal with, great communication about delivery updates. This is s great knife made by Helle. It is very hard to find a company that cares about their customers. Will buy from again. Thank you!

I have been trying out my new Skog and like it. The beechwood handle has very nice grain which in a nice way is different than some of the curly birch handles I have. The handle has a nice finger guard and is short enough to get my little finger around the end to keep me from slipping towards the blade. It is VERY comfortable in the hand. The blade has a fairly wide bevel so not as good for fine carving on softer hard woods like basswood although for roughing out a carving it works great. It would work great for carving hardwoods like cherry. It works great for just plain whittling. It is also a good all around knife. As usual Ragweed was a pleasure to order from.

Most of my knives are of the traditional “sloyd” profile, but I thought it would be nice to have something a bit stouter, closer to bushcraft but not as clumsy and still intended for carving. The Skog didn’t disappoint. The blade is sturdy, but not so thick that it can’t do a fine cut. The point is nicely shaped for carving but not fragile. Not a sloyd replacement, but a good addition.

I've been a huge fan of Hellè for a while now. There is just something about these knives… they are simple and practical, nothing flashing about these knives, just pure quality and craftsmanship. You can feel that these knives are handmade by people who care about what they do.
I recently bought 3 Skog’s one for myself and 2 for 2 very close and dear friends. I chose this knife because it's practical and well designed for purpose. Perfect knife for carving while sitting around the fire. It's also a good size for EDC.
Hellè Knife forwarded my email to a US distributer,
Named John Stephens who personally recommended Ragweed Forge. Great advice!
My knives always come with a handwritten thank you, which is a very nice change and also appreciated.
Ragweed always delivers quickly in very well packaged boxes, like Hellè you can tell this shop cares about what they do!
Great customer service! Hellè now ships to the USA directly through their website, I will however always buy from ragweed.
Thank you for doing what you do well!

Ragweed Forge is hands down my new favorite source for my knives! They do an incredible job with the packaging and the customer service is the best.
The Helle Skog like all of the Helle knives I have bought did not disappoint. There is just something about the feel of these handmade knives… I can feel that the knife was made by someone that enjoys their craft.
Simple yet elegant in design! Highly recommend Hellé knives.
