The Helle Tollekniv is a nice knife from Helle of Norway. It is in their "Basic" series. Helle are toward the higher end of moderately priced blades, with most knives in the $80 range. The Tollekniv is $39.
Very traditional scandi blade geometry in Sandvik.
Wonderful rustic handle in Birch or something. The give it a cursory antiquing stain job which, in my opinion, looks good.
The sheath is a very simple side-seam design but fits like a glove and is made of very attractive brown leather and stamped with their coat of arms.
Just a wonderful knife for the traditionalist. The antithesis of any and all things "tactical". Thinking back to my childhood, this would be a great knife for a boy as if he lost it you would not be out much money. When I was a boy, I was into all things Native American and Early Frontier (no Cowboys for me). This knife would look at home in a fringed homemade frontier style sheath. As it was as a boy, I had a green river.
So I really like the Helle Tollkniv.
