Helle Harding Knife Test

Helle Harding Bushcraft Knife

Over the next couple of months I will be field testing my new toy, the Helle Harding Bushcraft Knife. I have heard some good things about this knife, and, my initial impressions are that its goodlooking, handles VERY well with good balance, has a super edge and a lovely leather sheath. But most of all, it’s about three times cheaper than most other ‘similar’ knives on the market, at under £80.00.


I do like traditional looking knives and this one doesn’t disappoint! It just feels ‘right’.  The real test will come in the following months, and I will add to the site when I have some more info.  I feel this will be a hard working tool and loyal friend.

Tim, First of all the last part of your question didn't work as it had been replaced with symbols, so please re-send if you wish.

I will leave this to other readers to answer in more depth, but for me I like the traditional look of the Helle knives. The F1 in my opinion is stronger and has a much more modern feel to it. I'm not a fan of non-wood handles as they make my hand sore are a while, so again, the Helle wins that test for me. Blades are both great, so it all hangs on what you need it for. Day to day and bushcraft use I would opt for Helle, if it was for a real survival situation I would go for the F1 as its a tougher knife.

Question - how does it and other Helle knives stand up against Fallkniven F1
Cheers. Tim
