Helle Gaupe Knife

Amazing knife

Bel prodotto, artigianale e affilatissimo. Perfetto per attività bushcraft o escursionismo. Ottimo anche il packaging e il fodero.

I don't leave product reviews very often, but I'm so impressed with this knife that I'm compelled to tell the world. Yes, like everyone has said, it's ridiculously razor sharp. I've processed two whitetail deer with it since I purchased it. Field dress, skinned, quartered, and even used it some through the butchering process. Man is it a satisfying tool to work with. Cuts through skin and meat like its butter. I'd prefer a little longer knife for quartering and butchering, so I might pick up the Helle Sylvsteinen sometime as well. I love the triple laminated steel. I like the edge retention and durability of high carbon, but have had some high carbon blades start to rust a little even with good cleaning and oil care. Even with the messy job of field dressing, this knife comes completely clean (back to the mirror finish, even) with a little warm soapy water. Just dry, gently oil and return to sheath. Speaking of the sheath, I've heard others say it's a European vs. American design trend (not sure if that's right,) but most of my other knives the sheath only covers the blade, leaving some of the handle length above the belt loop. I didn't know how I'd like this sheath design, but It's actually really nice that the whole blade and handle hangs below the belt loop. I carry it with me in the woods for the duration of every hunt, hunting from the ground and in a tree stand, and this design means the knife handle never digs into my side or stomach like might sometimes happen with an "American" style sheath. Also the leather is of good quality and has already (a couple months) flexed and molded more into the knife shape as you'd expect. I'm telling all my fellow hunting/woodsmen friends about this knife. If you're considering this or another Helle knife then GET ONE!
