The Helle Lappland celebrates the northern Scandinavia knife traditions and is a tool often used by the indigenous Sámi people as a utility knife with its classic design.
The Sámi people use these large knifes (Lauku) in their daily mobile life. This big knife comes with a non-laminated 12C27 stainless steel blade. The blade is fairly thin for effective slicing. The barrel shaped handle is made of birch with brass fittings. Suitable for medium to large hands.
The knife sits deep in its traditional leather sheath and attaches with a leather strop. A great knife to have around camp, and together with a classic small knife it makes a perfect team member in your tool collection.
The name Lappland refers to the northern region that stretches and combines the northern parts of Finland, Norway and Sweden.

I bought this knife because I was reading up on Komi reindeer herders and they reference knives like this quite often. I live in interior Alaska and use this as a replacement for a small hatchet when camping and hunting. As long as you’re nice to it, it’s excellent for clearing moderate brushyness around camp or breaking down small trees. The sloped edge profile seems to prevent rolling and chipping well. Knives like this are excellent in environments without substantial tree cover and thick brush.
Still, I wouldn’t go around whacking trees and treating it like a rough tool, you need to be precise with it.

Great knife
I’ve had this knife now two years. It’s one of my best knives I own. I use it on my farm and camping. Excellent all around knife. Stays razor sharp and easy to keep that way. I would highly recommend this knife and company to anyone that asks
