Well this video series has been a long time coming but the first part is here. We look at a very popular style of knife that has really become a dominating force for bushcrafters and survivalist and that's the Scandi or Scandinavian type of Blade and/or grind. just some quick theory and a look at the knives that will be spotlighted in this three part series.
Les Stroud Helle Temagami

I like the jimping in the middle of the blade ! Great vid Adam
Awesome vid, Adam. Short, sweet, and to the point.
Great stuff mate, look forward to seeing how it performs in testing.
That is a quality and intelligent review. All the screen time is starting to show in a polished presentation.
- Congratulations Bushmaster.
Thanks, we'll look into them
Love the simplicity of this one more so than the BG knife,good job Helle.
I really love this knife. I got mine when it was released at the Toronto Outdoors show and Les Stroud was there. For what I use it for, it is a great knife. :D
Great review Adam, really pulled out the great points. Also loved your assistant in the background... Optimus Prime!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought one in Aspen and I noticed that the blade was not Ferris Metal. I bought a IKEA couch that came with 5 large boxes that I used the blade to chop into small pieces. It worked amazingly. After that I sharpened it with Japanese ceramic rods and it went from sharp to insane!! I can shave with it, no word of a lie. Someone said it wasn't worth it.... horse pucky. Best knife ever.
Hey Adam, i was playing around with different types leather sheaths for the temagami and found that the BHK Bushcrafter leather sheath fits the temagami perfectly.
cheers
@Equip2Endure which is better? carbon steel or stainless??
does that knife have a scandinavian grind if so how would you sharpen the knife.
@Equip2Endure Where is the background music from? Thanks!
I really like Helle's stuff. I know they are going to have some great stuff coming out this year, I will let you know if I get my hands on any of it.

I thought the knife was fine out of the box but low quality despite the price. The balance and weight were great; I loved the feel in my hand and the blade geometry. The stimping is a fail in my book -too far forward for good thumb placement and ineffective to use as striker. I tried filing the top edge square and it still didn't produce sparks. In use the outer softer steel got dinged up pretty good when batoning. Worse yet one of the rivets started rotating and the handle slipped out of place.
@1097411 Laminating knives gives it better toughness than regularly. Also helle uses a soft stainless steel on the sides, and a harder carbon steel in the middle, so it doesn't rust as easily
good review, in england you can get this knife from lakeland bushcraft for about £140 which for a bushcraft knife is pretty good,
yes it is !
you should try out the Helle Harding ;)
favorite among many bushcrafters
very cool i want one
Yes, Helle is a Norwegian company. Have a Helle knife myself, and it´s awesome :)
@kj4cwa The steel used and labor process. Also, depends who makes the knife. You are buying a name most times, not all times.
@kj4cwa because a machtete is only used for chopping while good quality knives can have various uses
Here’s my experience. The wood handle chipped very bad. I actually bent the blade from putting to much force into making wood shavings. I must have had a lemon. Another note the leather sheath no longer secures the blade. I’m not super impressed but I’m going through warranty now
@CaveTater have a look at the helle knives, some good stuff,
Way more badass than the Gerber Bear Grylls knife! Nice job man :]
@headpopp360 , I will, thanks.
- Adam
OMG I WANT ONE!!!
@19sondre96 Helle is a norwgian company that makes knifes. I have one myself, but not this model. Fits perfectly for an outdoors knife :)
You missed the most important detail about the knife: blade steel. What is this made out of? Blade steel and heat treatment are the heart and soul of each knife.
@kj4cwa There are very good knives that can be had for $30 to $50, Mora makes some very fine ones for that money or less, also Condor knife and tool and Buck have some good ones in that price range. Helle itself actually has some fine knives similar to this that are well under $100.
However I understand your point. Really top tier "pretty" outdoor/buschraft knives do seem inordinately expensive sometimes.
@kj4cwa Because machetes are made from one type of relativly soft steel, since their only purpose is to chop. Outdoorknives, like this Helle one, are made from three layers of steel, a hard core and two softer outsides,since they are used for multiple purposes, like cutting, skinning, shaving, choping. Hence the forging, hardening, quenching, grinding and honing is much much more demanding and time consuming. That's why a good, handforged, knive is more expensive!
@kj4cwa steel type used on each have a big difference, the handles on the knifes usually are better then a machete handle, the fit and Finnish on both also are very different, try getting a good machete ( for example the bark river one) and trust me it is not going to be under USD 50,00
not worth the expensive price tag - can get an equal for way cheaper, buying the name. Good review.
A respectable machete steel is 1095 high carbon steel. It is tough as nails, relatively inexpensive (around $100), and holds an edge better than the $30 machete. For backcountry, a parang is better: a shorter, less swept machete that takes less space and weighs less. Ontario Knife Company makes decent 1095 machetes and parangs.
Blade steel and heat treatment. A $30 machete is likely made of low or medium carbon steel (often 440A). This is fairly rustproof, but the edge retention is unacceptable for a hard use tool. I am not going to list all of the high quality blade steels, but usually they come from places such as: Japan, Scandinavia, Germany, and the USA. Blade design affects performance during the cut, but it is the steel (and heat treat) that makes it last, and take abuse while keeping a good edge.
@19sondre96
yes this is Norwegian
Is this a norwegian knife?
@MrBladeDude thnx
Now THAT is a knife I'd put my name on as a survivalist, not something made in China. I love the Scandinavian grind. Pretty pricy though!!!
Why did they call it the Les Stroud...when I watch his show he doesnt use any specific knife. Ive seen him with the buck and some cold steel stuff and I think I saw him with one of the empty handle survival knives also. nice knife though.
Love Les Stroud and his work, but it's hard to beat the BK2 at bushcraft AND survival and price!
Adam man give it away!!!!! I want it and I'm feeling lucky!
Nice machetes are usually made from 1075 steel and made in South America. Inexpensive materials and very, very cheap labor. Most quality knives are opposite, expensive materials and expensive labor and other production costs. Also a machete is easier to put together.
" High- Speed, Low drag!"- ah ha! I thought you were prior service (Army) That's an Army thang. LOL
@heyxilong he help making it.
Love the knife, however, not sure i want to buy anymore that you can't throw a spark with. Decisions, decisions...lol
★★★★★
book of eli soundtrack lol
Worst $179 I've spent in a long time. The knife looks great but due to manufacturing issues, this one goes in the display cabinet instead of the belt. I'll take my $20 Mora over this any day of the week and 2x on Sunday.
The price is actualy low for a handmade knife
Please, slow down, I'm not native English speaker, it's too difficult to follow.
