Helle Harding Knife The Harding is a traditional barrel handle hunting knife. The beautiful, warm handle is made from curly birch and darkened oak separated by layers of leather. It has a full length tang. The blade is made of razor sharp triple laminated stainless steel. It comes with an embossed leather sheath with a handle butt retainer. A knife you will treasure. 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 entire blade. - Work one side until you can feel a slight burr on the opposite side. Switch side and repeat

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 looses its heat treatment and ruins the blade.
