I'm discovering new brands all the time on these forums, and I just heard about Helle, so I thought I'd check out their website. I'm not even in the market for a fixed blade, but that 2.5 minute video on their home page makes me want to buy every knife they make, not to mention I now have a crazy strong desire to live in Norway. I don't know how much of the video was suggestive hype, but the music and the footage, combined with that guy's soft steady voice has me believing Norway is a fairy wonderland of knives.

I'll definitely have to do some thread searches here to find out more about them.
 
^ He's not kidding that is a great video to make someone want to buy a knife!
 
That is a really cool video, but at about 1:08 you can obviously see a rat tail tang..

Aren't most Puuko style knives rat tail tangs? I always figured they basically had a file type tang that got smacked into a handle with a nut or peening keeping them together.
 
Yes, AFAIK the traditional Scandis have full stick tangs. They are up to the task.
