Mândra

80 mm 69 mm
Designed in collaboration with Les Stroud , a . k . a . ” Survivorman ”, the new Mândra neck knife was tested and refined on location in Romania .
The final touches during the development of Mândra , mening ” proud ”, were carried out in the raw , remote and overwhelmingly beautiful country of Romania – alongside the shooting of the latest Survivorman episodes . A triple laminated stainless steel blade and a handle of curly birch and vulcan fibre indicate the effort behind this brand new neck knife , accompanied with a genuine leather sheath .
Maintenance Helle knives are designed to retain their sharpness as a lifelong outdoors companion . But it is still important to take care of your knife and its sheath .
The Handle . Dry the handle with a soft cloth if wet and wax occasionally .
The Sheath . The leather needs to be impregnated occasionally with colourless impregnation agent ( grease or wax ) to keep supple . Dry the sheath carefully in room temperature if it becomes wet
The Blade . Wipe the blade with a soft cloth if wet and treat with grease occasionally .
Sharpening Use a diamond tool or a wet stone for sharpening . Place the knife bevel flat to the sharpening tool and work the entire blade . Work one side until you can feel a slight burr on the opposite side . Switch side and repeat the procedure until you feel the burr on the first side . You have now established an edge .
Remove the burr by stroking both sides of the blade gently over the sharpening tool as if cutting very thin slices . Keep the bevel flat towards the sharpener and move from side to side until the burr is gone .
If the blade is very dull or damaged , use a fine-grained grindstone and plenty of water to sharpen until you have a raw edge . Use a generous portion of cooling liquid and never sharpen on a dry stone . A hot-ground edge loses its heat treatment and ruins the blade .
