Helle Lappland Knife. Features: Lappland: - This knife is the all-purpose camp knife of the Sami people and some may add it to the category of a baby machete, quite hefty in the hand - The Sami people use them in their daily mobile life - This is a big knife with a non-laminated steel blade - The blade is fairly thin for effective slicing - The handle is made of birch with brass fittings - The Lappland comes with a traditional Scandinavian style leather sheath where the knife sits deep and secure 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 -

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 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: - Name: Lappland - Weight: 305g - Blade material: Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel - Blade thickness: 3mm - Blade length: 214mm - Handle material: Birch - Handle length: 125mm - Sheath material: Genuine leather - Sheath weight: 108g - Design:
