Yes, it's a handsome knife. About as a handsome as a knife can be, in fact, with a traditional barrel handle of curly birch, leather and walnut that's a bona fide work of art. But to appreciate its true beauty (and to understand why it's the revered favorite of bushcrafters worldwide), you've got to take it into the field to baton branches or skin game. The mirror-finish, full-tang blade is triple laminated, with a core of high carbon steel sandwiched between surgical steel, to hold a scalpel-sharp edge for months on end. No wonder it takes 60 separate hand operations by the knife experts at Helle® of Norway to craft this classic. The rich oiled leather sheath has a 2"W belt loop that'll fit on your work belt. There's also a security strap that slips over a brass "button" on the handle butt, so you won't lose your knife when you're belly-crawling through prickly ash. Knife and sheath comes in a handsome gift box with care/sharpening instructions and a cleaning cloth.
