This little blade has surpassed our expectations on what it was initially designed for.
We designed the Helium years ago to be the ultimate lightweight backpacking knife; its main purpose, to tackle all the camp chores an adventurer could come across.
Our Helium has now morphed through sustained use into a staple of many Sambar hunters; seen on kits in the Alps of Victoria, the ancient snow capped peaks of New Zealand and has found a home on many service personnel's plate carriers and in their kit loadout due to its low print and ability to perform when called upon.
Effective despite it's small stature, the Helium knife can cape out trophies as well as perform many simple butchering tasks involved in the harvesting of wild free range meat.
