Skala Custom Knives - (Helle Bowie Blade) Red Stag Handle - #129

5 stars

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.

Works great not only for a sheath, but to attach a folding knife in your pocket when it has no clip. I wanted a Helle Bleja, but was afraid of drilling into the scales to place a clip on it in the right spot. Talked to Ragweed and I came up with this option: to put the clip through the lanyard hole, and can still keep the knife in my front pocket.

I've been looking for a small bowie blade with a high quality steel for my personal knife. This is a great size for daily carry in the field.

I used leftover bits and pieces - African blackwood, cocobolo, some brass I had on hand. Very pleased with this blade and always pleased with Ragweed.

This is a beautiful knife. It cones sharp ready for your finishing handle ideas.

The Helle Wabakimi is a great knife. I like the size of the knife and it is perfect for much of basic camp work. So, the knife is great, but the reason I keep coming back to Ragweed Forge is the owner, Redbeard. He is great to work with. Unlike many businesses, you can absolutely count on Redbeard handling your questions and orders with respect and efficiency. Totally pleased with the quality of the Wabakimi and the service from Redbeard.
