Usage
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
