Question about Helle knives.

[The Zieg]

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a Helle Viking knife, honestly because I just thought it looked cool. I just received it and it’s a bit off center. It’s centered at the top but not the bottom where they rounded the handle down.

Is this something that is really common and I just have to live with, with this knife in particular or should I return it and try another. I literally love everything else about the knife’s look and feel. I’m just a little ocd, I guess. What are your guys opinion who own any Helle knives. I’m really new to collecting knives so would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Stare hard at your face in the mirror. Notice that one ear is higher than the other, one eye is wider than the other, your nose is not symmetrical, your teeth are not perfectly even, and your eyebrows are asymmetrical. Now look at your knife again. You're a perfect match! Now take your knife out for a spin and cut and slice some things. Use it and enjoy it!

I'm not following you...

Just a little update. Seller was really awesome and checked the other few they had in stock. They seem too all have minor off centering.

Seems to be just part of knife being made by individuals. From what everyone said on here I’ve decided to just keep the knife and use it. It is a very beautiful looking knife. Just wanted to give that update in case someone was on the fence about buying one.

Cheers everyone!
