In order to perfect the design of this knife, Helle traveled to the raw, remote and overwhelmingly beautiful country of Romania to work alongside Les Stroud. Helle and Les Stroud are extremely proud of this knife and its potential; in fact the word Mandra literally translates to proud. This well designed fixed blade has a 2.5" drop point blade that utilizes and neat polished finish. The curly birch handles are designed to remain useful whether it is wet or dry. The Helle Mandra is made in Norway and comes with a leather sheath.
