Helle Helle MandraFG 12C27 neck knife
Two brothers, Steinar and Sigmund Helle started knife production in the old forge at their farm in 1932. The first set of knives was sold on a long trip over the mountains on a bicycle! Today, Helle knives are sold all around the world, but just as then, much of the production is done manually. The philosophy remains the same: no machine can replace skilled craftsmanship. Craftsmen with extensive experience and knowledge still take pride in making each and every Helle knife unique.
A Full Flat Version of the Compact Mándra
The Helle Mándra FG 12C27 is a cutting-performance-focused version of the popular Mándra. Instead of the standard model’s laminated H3LS blade and Scandi grind, the FG features a stainless 12C27 blade with a full flat grind.
The blade tapers towards the cutting edge across its entire width, reducing resistance as it passes through the material. This makes the Mándra FG an excellent choice for preparing food, handling mushrooms and tackling general cutting tasks outdoors. Fine-grained 12C27 steel offers a reliable combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and easy sharpening.
The curly birch handle scales are slightly thicker than on the standard model, providing a fuller and well-balanced grip. The knife comes with a tan leather sheath secured by a snap button.
