The Nord has been really good for trips where I want to cover a lot of ground, but am not carrying an axe. If you needed to cut up some dry, fallen branches for a fire, or build a shelter, you could do that, and the Nord will excel as with food prep and basic trail/camp chores. It is reasonably light and rustproof, a really good companion on the trail.
Grandissimi!!! Non vi siete fatti scoraggiare dalle nuove regole del vostro paese e avete continuato per la vostra strada come sempre!!! W i Partigiani 😉💪
I had my order in the second this knife went public, after years of badgering Helle about making a larger, full tang knife, with a bigger handle. I have been using it heavily ever since. It was great for camping trips last summer, and I use on the trail quite a bit. It limbs as well, or better than some bigger choppers because it is so slicy. My only complaint has been that one side of the handle was shaped a little too round - more round than the other side. I had to sand it down and re-oil it, but that is not unexpected with a semi-production Scandinavian knife or tool. My Nord has held an edge remarkable well. I run a ceramic rod over it from time to time, and strop it on my pant leg between uses, and just keep it sharp all the time. Surprisingly light relative to the amount of chopping it can do.
Finely handcrafted knives, with a sharp edge that lasts for years and years. Perfect for fishers, hunters, bushcrafters. Stainless steel, which is softer, so the knife can survive in the damp country of norway. Americans/dutchmen: is this an axe?
@@bradfarrahgerwing154 I have a Helle skinning knife, and have recently been interested in getting the Nord and the lappaland, wow good to hear the great feedback, because I havent been able to justify an aus8 equivalent steel for 180-250 when I can just buy another Bradford with magnacut or 3V steel, but I love Helle Knives, they are fantastic.
It's pwetty.. I like the look of all their knives. Maybe one day I'll pull the trigger and buy one. It's the type of knife you have to budget for but well worth it if you do.
This is one of the best channel's on TH-cam for this kind of content I was thinking that if their outlawing knives in your part of the world go deeper into the woods visit muscled hammer guy
I bought a helle fire knife years ago. Because it sounded so cool. It turned out to be a fantastic little knife. It didn’t hold its edge too well but it was so easy to sharpen. Really like this brand. I also bought a Kellam wolverine which is also an awesome knife. And also sounds cool Both are better than balls
That is a good looking steak bros ❤️👍. You might as well make or buy a small smoker . Water , favorite smoking wood and turn it on . Smoked brisket is my favorite or some strip steaks . Anything works , love it . Have never tried a chicken tho but smoked salmon is also the shyit.
So how long until you guys put together a “Sisu” video? The knives, the philosophy, the throwing a mine at a Nazi’s forehead. I saw the preview and I feel like this is your kind of thing to explain. If I remember right, the woods were given to Martin by his grandfather. I bet grandfather was a sisu kind of man.
Great knife all around. No bouncing off the planks with the throw test, no shattering with the pellet rifle. And no metal drum rim drumming. Who are you, and where's Martin and Mikky?
Bought a Helle Nord knife 🔪 and very happy with it. I cut myself twice with shortly after receiving it. I've done some silicon wrap on it to make it less likely for me to cut myself lol
Ever since I first saw this knife it immediately went to the top of my knife-related bucket list. I am a HUGE HElle fan and have been for decades. This knife tops them all.
Loved hearing the beautiful dutch language in full display when discussing the bird of prey. 8:51 Sounds like a gnome clearing its throat while falling down a small staircase
So glad you guys got a good un , my Nord turned up pretty much serrated, so many machine marks , handle didn’t get its final sand , basically a $400 AD project knife 🤬🤬🤬🔪🔪🔪
Though it's more of a hunting knife, give the Buck 119 Special in 420HC (your favorite of all stainless steels) a try. I'm sure it will get plenty of views and comments, if it makes it even half way through your tests, it would be pretty interesting.
Great vid lads! Would love to see the Condor Heavy Duty Kukri, and the tops power eagle. I think the power eagle might even top the storm vector…who knows? And the condor HD kukri has been touted as the only survival tool you need
To think that Mora's new knives are in the same price category as this knife is absolutely insane. The value for your money is sop much better with the Nord.
@@The_Northerner yeah I know what you’re saying, but its just hard for ME to comprehend somebody buying/paying a 240$+ knife and it NOT BEING a Bark River or even something more high end…I mean would YOU personally buy one of these 250$ Helle Nords in 14c28n over a MagnaCut/Cru-wear/3V Bark River for the around the SAME price +-20$ depending on model? I’d take the American made/warranty/Amazing steel/fit&finish/convex grind Bark River Bushcrafter, Gunny, Aurora, or Bravo EVERY TIME
@@shadeshiest22 Why would you buy a Bark River tho? It’s like buying from China, but instead of supporting a communist regime, you are supporting Mike Stewart, a crook like his father before him, that used to scam people by selling O1 marked as CruWear and A2 as Magnacut. A guy that, when exposed, threatened to physically harm and sue who exposed him on public platforms like Twitter or bladeforums. The same guy that under treats every steel or doesn’t hold up to his own warranty. Using “Bark River” as comparison to build an argumentation, it already makes it flawed.
@@shadeshiest22 Yeah man, they just released a new series of full tang blades with ash scales, and the largest retails for $250. All Mora says about the blade steel is that it's "recycled Swedish steel."
Excellent review gentlemen.....I don't own a Helle but I have admired their finish - it might be time for me to buy one. I guess the mirror-ish Finnish on the blade reduces friction, making the feathersticks a smooth task? As smooth as the DBK boys delivery?....🤮🤣 Well done, usual high standard.
Can you do a sharpening video on this blade and se how sharp you get it mates? Sort of a updated how to sharpen a scandi blade also with your fabolus diamond sprays and strop
I have a Helle Sylvsteinen and really like it. It's perfect for a number of applications, and it's about $100 less expensive. I don't plan to baton or chop with it, so full tang is not important to me,
@@seanleipziger9167 I opted for the 110, for comfort. In my state you could legally carry a sword. Though the cops will approach you. And they probably have no idea your William Wallace Claymore is totally legit.
when it comes to norwegian knives the one that is a good old companion is a sami style knife from "Knivsmed Strømeng". If you have not tried one of their knives, i would highly reccomend you do.
How would a thicker blade affect the batoning and feather sticking abilities of this knife? When is the DBK survival knife going to become a reality? Asking for a friend.

I have this knife, as well as a few of Helle's knives, and i have to agree.... this is the best one they make!!!!!
The day of DBK, finally!
Aaaaaah! Nice
If I'm elected I will create DBK national holiday.
Yes my dudes, great knife!!! I bought that knife the day it reached the market here in the US and have not regret it once.
Always good to see a Norwegian brand doing good ! Nice review !

Hardwood coals. Maple or oak preferably, also blow off coals before placing meat.
I always liked the look of the Helle knives, and this one seems really good! Wouldn't mind having one at all.

Americans/dutchmen: is this an axe?
My first machete that I ever bought (25 years ago) is a Helle and I still use it up to today.
Is it a Helle Laapland? I tortured the one I got but it held up well
My lapplanders awesome....13 or 14 years now

Nice mullet Mickey! II like it
Nice video guys! Looks like you are doing well. Love the videos as always, and I am already looking forward to next week's vid! Cheers

Who are you, and where's Martin and Mikky?
Agree.
Mikkie that haircut!!!! What knife you use??
Hurray for DBK!!!!
Like the look of it but I would buy the condor aqualore in 14C28N & micarta with kydex sheath again over this......just under $100 knife.
There is no chopping ability at all with the aqualore
as always your passion and honest charm makes my day. Keep loving life and making videos.
Great video keep up the awesome content
I love your bush cooking as well as knife testing!!Another great video.
At last, my Thursday special is here
Dudes I always hearted laugh while i watch plus I love knives and you guys go where viewers want it's very nice thank you

Genuinely great video guys, enjoyed it 🇮🇪
The pronunciation of temagami kills me hahaha. I have gone moose hunting there since I was a little kid.

What's your mother tongue?
@@LosRiji Australian English- I'm just poking fun though. Dutch is a great language and the accent is fun too.

I missed the video drop yesterday as I was "ill" (pissed as a fart). But I watched it this morning.........
Receiving my Helle Nord in 2 weeks 🔥🔥🔥 thanks for the review , tipped me over the edge 😅
So glad you guys got a good un , my Nord turned up pretty much serrated, so many machine marks , handle didn’t get its final sand , basically a $400 AD project knife 🤬🤬🤬🔪🔪🔪
Random comment for the algo. Good job guys!
Been watching you guys for a few years now you guys have a great channel
Amazing video ad always! Actualy thinking about getting it, but im gonna wait to see if by chance i get it with the GIVEAWAY🎉😂
hahahaha good luck Gert! May the knife gods be with you
Looks pretty nice thanks for the show and tell
The "slow mo" meat show...featuring ribeyes, caveman style. You guys should do a show with Pitmaster X.
Helle Yes!! Great Video!
Have you seen the new MKM Normar in cpm 3v? Would love to see a review on that knife
I have one! not sure if we'll make a video it though
@@DutchBushcraftKnives Same! got mine the first day it was out. How are you liking it so far?
Thanks DBK for Helle ❤
Nice review guys😁👍. Cool to see the difference with and without lanyard chopping. Nord is a great knife and cool looking as well. Cheers
I recommend the Lofty
Wiseman lanyard technique. Safest, strongest Bush-thrashing, stump-thumping safety measure you could possibly employ. 😉
