SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Helle Hellefisk is a purpose-built fixed blade that delivers lightweight precision and time-tested durability for anglers, paddlers, and outdoorsmen who rely on their tools in demanding environments. Made in Norway by one of the world’s most respected knife makers, the Hellefisk is crafted for use on and around the water, offering performance you can count on whether you're filleting a catch or rigging camp by the lake.
At the heart of this knife is a 4.84" Fillet blade made from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel—known for its fine grain structure, corrosion resistance, and excellent edge retention. The satin finish gives it a clean, low-glare appearance and allows the blade to glide smoothly through fish, cordage, or wood. With a straight spine and a gently curved belly, the blade excels in both precision slicing and more general utility work.
The Hellefisk features a stick tang construction, which helps reduce weight without sacrificing strength. That lightweight feel is matched by a cork handle that’s more than just comfortable—it’s also naturally buoyant. Drop it in the river or off the side of your canoe, and it’ll float rather than sink. The cork material also insulates against the cold, making it ideal for use in frigid temperatures where other handles might stiffen or draw heat from your hand.
This knife is just under 10 inches overall and weighs only 2.25 ounces, making it a breeze to carry on extended trips or all-day outings. It includes a finely stitched brown leather sheath with a belt loop for secure, traditional carry. The sheath protects the blade and your gear, while the snug fit keeps the knife firmly in place, even when you're on the move.
Proudly made in Norway, the Hellefisk blends practical innovation with old-world craftsmanship. It’s the kind of tool you’ll reach for whether you’re cleaning trout by a mountain stream or trimming cord at a foggy marina. Order yours today from SMKW!
