Helle Speiderkniven Knife

My 5yo son and I set to task clearing the brush from a grove of cottonwood. He kept up and spent countless hours dragging and stacking. The one thing that kept bothering him was the blackberry that were pulling saplings down. So I told him that if he showed discipline and care he would get his first knife. He kept his word and so did I. He wears the knife on his belt with pride - pride he earned - and the blackberries are tamed and the grove is clear.

It's a perfect first knife.

A lovely knife for a child's first. My daughter loves to take this with her when we go camping and hiking. Comes in a leather sheath that attaches to a belt.

Awesome quality-- my son loves it and the sheath is very secure when he insists on wearing it on his belt. The finger guards are wide, comfortable, and smooth. I'm very pleased with the product and I know it'll stand up over time.

Bought this knife for my 8 year old boy about a year ago and I write this review only now so that I can give an honest report. After a year of use and abuse, as he is learning how to use a knife, I can definitely say that the Helle Speider knife and sheath have held up to the test. It resharpens nice and easy and even the worst of nicks (as we are learning that a knife is not a pry bar) in the blade can be removed and resharpened with out doing a complete re-profile. The staff are great to deal with and they went out of there way to ship it ASAP as this was a gift.

My daughter couldn't have been more happier - a well made knife. Light, pleasant looking and super sharp. One issue though. The red paint on the handle chips off easily. Helle should think of something more durable. Also, red is boys colour, and even though the sheath has a girl on it, the blue tip would have been nicer.
