Beautiful knife accompanied with excellent service

I live in the US and called Helle to ask them if I could substitute the standard sheath for one that carried a ferro rod. The person said not a problem and even wrote my name down so as to not forget when he saw my order come through. I also asked him in the comments if I could pre pay for a dangler because the website was showing the danglers were out of stock. This way I could avoid additional shipping charges. My knife was delivered well within acceptable wait times. It was everything I could have hoped for. The blade was highly polished and razor sharp. The handle was gap free between the tang and handle. My understanding is that there were a couple of knives where this did occur and Helle made the customer whole. They have since corrected this issue. The sheath came as asked with a ferro rod holder and to top it off Helle even included a dangler. I could not be more satisfied with my purchase. Helle went a step beyond for me and I thank them. Way to go Helle!

Excellent fit and finish. Heavy in just the right way. It will take abuse, but it’s just so nice to use. Feels elegant in the hand, even given its large size. Well done Helle. I should mention that I have many Helle knives, of all sizes. I live and work on a ranch in Wyoming. My favorite everyday knife is the Mandia - Les Stroud. The Nord is not an everyday knife, but it’s good at what it was designed for.

Finally the perfect sheath

I have been carrying belt knives for 50 years.this sheath is perfect.the knife handle only sticks out an inch or 2.no more knife handle sticking me in the ribs or seat belt hanging up on the handle.and the knife is what I expected after I bought the wabakimi.feels light and well balanced.rock solid and dangerous sharp.and if for some reason you felt the need to baton your knife through a log.i have no doubt this knife would do it.personally I use an axe.
