Helle Odel Knife

The gorgeous antler, leather, and curly birch handle of theHelle Odel Knife might lead you to believe that this puppy belongs in a museumor in some fancy glass case. But man, would the Nordic craftsmen who createdthis thing sure be mad if they ever saw it like that, because they madeit to be used for a lifetime, passed down to the next generation, and then usedsome more. In addition to the deeply contoured handle, which gives youimpeccable control, the Odel has a triple laminated stainless steel blade witha drop point that is extremely functional for everything from cutting game todoing chores around camp. The sturdy leather sheath is a work of art in itself.
