To mark the 50 year anniversary of this important event for Helle, we dedicate our 2025 Limited Edition Knife to the Fjording 50 aar.
The Fjording 50 aar (translation: Fjording 50 years) preserves many of the defining, innovative features of the original design. It has the same, short and stubby blade shape and contoured handle that means it excels at carving and woodworking. It also comes with a wrap-around style sheath, which you can secure to your belt or backpack and keep it securely in its place.
The materials have also been updated on the knife. While the original came with a thinner carbon steel, the blade on the Fjording 50 aar is in our thicker laminate H3LC steel. On the handle, we have added some styling and modern materials. The original was a one-piece birch handle. The Fjording 50 aar features a stunning, composite handle made out of curly birch, stabilised, green curly birch and leather. The “Helle-colored” green curly birch in the handle represents both how important this design has been for the brand, but also the new techniques that Helle are embracing.
The tanned leather sheath features a snap button that wraps around the handle., securing the knife in the sheath while also displaying the beautiful curly birch handle.
The Fjording 50 years honors an important part of the Helle legacy while bringing the execution in to the 21st century, and as such follows in line with our other limited edition designs.
