Helle Alden Knife. Features: Alden: - The Alden is named after the island Alden - Alden is still an important landmark for Fishermen coming home from the sea - The island is situated just of the coast from where the Helle factory is situated - The Alden has a non-laminated stainless steel blade (12C27) and curly birch handle with stainless steel fittings towards the blade - It has a small and useful finger guard to fit in a pouch style sheath Maintenance: - Helle knives are designed to retain their sharpness as a lifelong outdoors companion - But it is still important to take care of your knife and its sheath The Handle: - Dry the handle with a soft cloth if wet and wax occasionally The Sheath: - The leather needs to be impregnated occasionally with colourless impregnation agent (grease or wax) to keep supple - Dry the sheath carefully in room temperature if it becomes wet The Blade: - Wipe the blade with a soft cloth if wet and treat with grease occasionally Sharpening: - Use a diamond tool or a wet stone for sharpening - Place the knife bevel flat to the sharpening tool and work the

blade - Work one side until you can feel a slight burr on the opposite side - Switch side and repeat the procedure until you feel the burr on the first side - You have now established an edge - Remove the burr by stroking the blade gently over the sharpening surface on both sides, as if cutting very thin slices - Keep the bevel flat towards the sharpener and move from side to side until the burr is gone - If the blade is very dull or damaged, use a fine-grained grindstone and plenty of water and sharpen until you have a raw edge - Use much cooling liquid and never sharpen on a dry stone - A hot-ground edge loses its heat treatment and ruins the blade Please Note: - The Knives Handle Is Handmade and Therefore the Handle May Differ From Stock Received Specifications: - Weight: 145g - Blade material: Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel - Blade thickness: 3mm - Blade length: 105mm - Handle material: Curly birch - Handle length: 130mm - Sheath material: Genuine leather - Sheath weight: 52g - Design: Gunnar Lothe - Year: 2009 - Art. no: 76 What's in the box 1
