That's hardly surprising though, is it, it's a gorgeous piece of kit. Solid, comfortable & capable. Loving mine more each time I use it.

Wow. Well, thanks all for the mine of information.

Yes, strikes me as odd too. Interesting though nonetheless. I was expecting a carbon steel blade and was after one. But this has had me thinking. My reason for wanting carbon over stainless was due to the oft quoted sharpness thing... (I hope I have this right) "Carbon steel will hold a...

Cool. Groovy. Thanks.

Great knife indeed. However, how do I tell if I've got the stainless steel or carbon steel version? The website I bought it from said, and I quote, "triple laminated carbon steel blade". But it's very shiny. How do you tell? Can you get such a high polish finish to a carbon steel blade? Am I...

Got my Helle Temagami. Wow. Fantastic knife. A scandi grind is a bit of a revelation after a convex grind.

Um ... no. It all looks the same to me.

I was a little surprised that they didn't want to know, but likewise I didn't push it either. However, there's no need to get into them about their customer service. Despite what seems like massed raised eyebrows, dropped jaws and exclamation of 'You broke an F1? #*&@!!!' the fact remains that I...

I contacted them when it happened. They didn't want to know. They quoted the proper legal situation in that I have privity of contract with the person(s) who supplied it to me, which is fair enough I suppose. I think it was about to run out of warranty so I didn't push it. I got it from Trueways...

What, a four inch knife shaped nail.

Oh, go on then...

I'd rather not talk about it in public* but it's safe to say that I've examined the way I used the knife and believe I can identify the two points in time that lead to me breaking it. As far as using a Helle, or any other knife, like that again then I can safely say that I won't be. I've...

It's time to get a new knife to replace my F1 (snapped, batoning, my bad) and I'm looking at getting an Helle. I've had all my tang related questions answered by reading a thread dedicated to the subject, which was great. I think the only question I have left is regarding blade size and...

And it will take about two seconds for the parents to blame anyone else except themselves or the child. For God's sake, will people just stop trying to say he's dangerous. He's not. He's perfectly capable of doing the things he does. Not everyone is. If someone tries something he does and gets...

Then isn't that their fault, not Bear's?
