The Helle Skog is named after the Scandinavian word for forest and was developed for evenings by the campfire. This is considered a carving knife but is much more robust than the typical carving knives making it great for many tasks and chores. I would feel more than comfortable using this knife for my every day carry. The triple laminated stainless blade is short enough for complete control. The beechwood handle offers a comfortable grip for long sessions. This knife comes with a genuine leather sheath as pictured.
