The Helle Jegermester name brings many to think of this knife as a hunter’s knife. It certainly is, but at the same time it is much more than that. This is a big and well-proportioned outdoor knife, well suited for any task.
The Jegermester has been around for almost 20 years and is now a well established product in the Helle range. The well-proportioned handle and fairly big blade makes this a great knife around camp. A go-to tool for many tasks – all the way from making feather sticks or tent pegs, preparing food or for various tasks during the big hunt.
The size makes this knife more suitable for medium to big hands. The handle is hand sanded to a satin finish with a shape that offers a safe grip with its countered handle. The scandi grind Sandvik 12C27 steel blade is hand sharpened to a hair popping sharp edge right out of the box.

Helle knives was founded in 1932 by brothers Steinar and Sigmund Helle, whose father, Bernt, was the town blacksmith in Holmedal, Norway. The original workshop was run without electricity and the first knives were bicycled through the mountains of Norway to be sold in Oslo. Helle knives are still made in Holmedal, where hand-work and the use of quality materials is still central to the production of knives. These knives are tested by Helle team members in the rugged mountains and fjords of Norway.
