Outdoor Chef Knife with a 160 mm Polished 12C27 Steel Blade and Curly Birch Handle for Camp Cooking

This outdoor chef knife brings controlled slicing and substantial chopping capability to meal preparation around the campfire, beside the barbecue or in your kitchen. Its 160 mm polished 12C27 steel blade combines influences from European chef knives and Santoku knives, balancing smaller cuts with larger chopping tasks.

Helle pairs full tang construction and a full flat grind with a rounded curly birch handle. The flat bolster supports a forward grip for chopping vegetables, while the fuller handle accommodates slicing and heavier cutting. Natural variation in the curly birch gives each handle its own pattern. A leather blade protector covers the blade for storage and transport.
