Alden is a mid-size knife with a secure grip for daily tasks. Named after the dramatic and historic island Alden. A landmark with historic value and still used by fishermen and travelers finding their way back from the big ocean for thousands of years.
Alden is a mid-size all-round knife with a classic design, shaped for medium to large hands. Its well-shaped curly birch handle is polished to a satin finish with a distinct fingerguard and stainless-steel bolster towards the blade.
The mid-size long blade has a slight drop point shape, and the steel used is 12C27 with a classic scandi grind. A perfect steel for its toughness and corrosion resistance, well suited for outdoor activities near the ocean.
Delivered with a sheath of genuine high-quality leather and a belt loop for secure carry on the belt.
* Left-handed sheath available (place comment in order notes).

First of all, I think that 3mm is a little thick for a rat tang, since the utility you would get out of such a thick blade is only curbed by the lack of a full tang. It would weigh a little less and be functionally sharper with a thinner blade, but I knew what I was ordering so I can't really criticize it there.
What I can criticize: The finish on the wood handle is questionable. It's pretty, but within the first week of owning it, the finish had rubbed off on half of the handle that sits in the sheath. After moisturizing the leather and refinishing the handle with tung oil, it's doing great, but I don't think I should have had to do so within only a few days of owning it.
Feels substantial in the hand and razor sharp out of the box
Beautiful craftsmanship on every knife I’ve ordered.
For my third Helle knife I am very pleased to be able to carry on my left side. The quality of all my knives is superior. Thank You
Thank you for the staff that finalized my knife. This is so nice piece of art, cuts well and fits my hand perfectly. Day is great every time I attach the blade on my belt. Be proud of your work. I honor your work. +++++
