The Gaupe is the Norwegian word for Lynx. This outdoor knife has a triple laminated stainless steel blade and curly birch handle. The sheath is a traditional Scandinavian design with the Lynx footprint as decoration. 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.
