The Sigmund anniversary knife is a little bit out of the ordinary. It was designed by two generations of Helle men. The blade was designed by Sigmund Helle in the 1930's and its handle by his son Torodd in 2012. The Sigmund is a classic all-purpose knife that features a beautiful stacked handle with beech, leather and ebony. The blade is Helle's triple laminated stainless steel for extraordinary sharpness. Includes leather sheath. Every Helle knife is made in their factory at Holmedal in western Norway. All knives are created by highly skilled craftsmen who care deeply about their work. The process includes up to 45 different manual operations before the knife is finally inspected and approved. Each knife is unique! Due to the nature of organic material, variation in color and pattern will occur.
