Construction & Materials
In a market where synthetic handle and complex blade materials rule, the Eggen holds its own with a natural Curly Birch handle and stainless blade. Utilizing a Stick Style tang allows for the knife to be light, but also very durable.

Ease Of Use
Some folks have complained that the handle on the Helle Eggen takes some time to get used to, but I personally found it easy to use from the start. It deploys nicely from the sheath and cuts, stabs, and slices with ease due to the drop-point blade.

Steel Quality / Edge Retention
Helle uses a triple laminated stainless steel composed of multiple stainless steels hardened to 58-59 HRC. This blend of steels is made exclusively for Helle and holds an edge beautifully. Additionally, the blade can take some serious abuse without showing too much wear. Utilizing a Scandi grind only enhances the longevity of the edge on the blade. You can throw your sharpening stones away now.

Durability
It’s hard to beat on a knife like the Helle Eggen, but believe me—I did. It passed all of my tests but I found that the spine, via battoning, shows abuse quickly and easily. Though I did not experience this myself, I fear that the edge could be damaged easily if you use it for hammering, whacking, or battoning.

Value
Maybe I’m a sucker for a good looking knife, but the Helle Eggen is worth every cent you pay for it. In both form and function, this knife exceeds my expectations—especially at $120USD.
