The Mândra knife is a staff favorite and often brought along on daily adventures. It's small and versatile, making it a perfect companion on any expedition.
The Mândra is the third knife developed in collaboration with Les Stroud and also the smallest in the collection. Being a small knife, it is surprising how good the handle fits even if you have larger hands. For medium to large hands, it is often used as a three finger grip.
A small knife is often considered to be more versatile. When it comes to the Mandra, this theory proves this to be very true. The well-proportioned triple laminated stainless steel blade comes razor sharp right out of the box. Ready to be used on your next adventure.
Comes with a secure leather sheath for belt carry and accompanied with a leather lanyard. * Left-handed sheath available (place comment in order notes).
The name Mândra means 'Proud' in Romanian.

The collaboration between Les Stroud and Helle goes back more than 10 years and is based on true friendship, respect for other people’s deep knowledge and love for nature.
Mândra was developed during the spring of 2014 to accompany Les during his adventures in Romania. Tested and used during this time living off the land in the Romanian alps, during the filming of Survivorman. Anders from Helle joined the Survivorman team in Romania, and made adjustments according to Les' personal requests after testing.
Special thanks to the Salvamont Mountain Rescue for an epic adventure and true hospitality.
All Helle knives come with tube packaging and information leaflet.

Open hereOne of my new favorites. An excellent knife. I live and work on a ranch in Wyoming. I use this little knife everyday. Superb.
Helle Mândra was an unexpected and welcome surprise. I received mine as a gift. The steel is magnificent and the finish on the handle is superb. Give one or get one, you will not be disappointed.
Top rate knives. These will be used and used, such a handy size and well made. Thank you!
Not only did this knife live up to the quality I’ve come to expect from Helle knives, but it also is the perfect size for daily carry use. Very pleased with this product!
I really like this knife, it's everything I hoped it would be. The size is perfect for my needs, and the build quality is excellent. It's extremely sharp right out of the box, and based on my experience with other Helle blades it should hold the edge well and be easy to resharpen when needed.
