The Arv knife is worthy of its name and heritage. In Norwegian, the name means inheritance – truly appropriate for a treasured item to be passed down for generations. Just like the methods used in its making. Arv is a versatile, lifelong companion that will handle cutting tasks with ease. This heritage knife has a medium size handle made from carefully selected curly birch stacked together with leather and staghorn. Shaped by hand to a smooth finish suitable for small to medium size hands. The knife has a small but distinct finger guard and a medium size blade of the finest triple laminated Helle steel. Shaped with a scandi edge and sharpened by hand to a razor-sharp edge. Each knife comes with a Nordic style sheath made from genuine high quality leather with a belt loop for secure carry. It is small enough for those who like to carry the knife in a strap like a neck-knife. **** Specifications Arv Weight incl. sheath 110 g / 3.88 oz Blade material Triple Laminated Helle steel, stainless Blade thickness 2,6 mm / 0.102 inch Blade length 87 mm / 3.43 inches Blade construction Stick tang Handle material Curly birch, staghorn and leather Handle length 104 mm / 4.09 inches Sheath material Genuine leather Design by Helle Design Design year 2016 The handle is deeply contoured for positive control and sized for small to medium hand.
