IMAGINE owning a hand made Norwegian knife - where there are no shortcuts to perfection! Helle KnifeEggen The Eggen is one of our most used all-round outdoor knifes. It is a stout hunting knife with a drop point blade of triple laminated stainless steel. The substantial curly birch handle is shaped to form a finger guard. It is gives a solid feel in the hand and is comfortable for both medium and large hands.MaintenanceHelle knives are designed to retain their sharpness as a lifelong outdoors companion. But it is still important to take care of your knife and its sheath. The Handle. Dry the handle with a soft cloth if wet and wax occasionally. The Sheath. The leather needs to be impregnated occasionally with colourless impregnation agent (grease or wax) to keep supple. Dry the sheath carefully in room temperature if it becomes wet The Blade. Wipe the blade with a soft cloth if wet and treat with grease occasionally.SharpeningUse a diamond tool or a wet stone for sharpening. Place the knife bevel flat to the sharpening tool and work the entire blade. Work one side until you can feel a slight burr on the opposite side. Switch side and repeat the procedure until you feel the burr on the first side. You have now established an edge. Remove the burr by stroking both sides of the blade gently over the sharpening tool as if cutting very thin slices. Keep the bevel flat towards the sharpener and move from side to side until the burr is gone. If the blade is very dull or damaged, use a fine-grained grindstone and plenty of water to sharpen until you have a raw edge. Use a generous portion of cooling liquid and never sharpen on a dry stone. A hot-ground edge loses its heat treatment and ruins the blade.There are no shortcuts to perfection.
