Helle Knives Mandra 70mm Neck Knife Designed by Les Stroud

In order to perfect the design of the Mandra, Helle travelled to the raw, remote and overwhelmingly beautiful country of Romania working alongside Les Stroud on Survivorman to design the blade.

“We are extremely proud to present a brand new Les Stroud knife” notes Anders Haglund, head of international marketing with Helle. “In fact; the word Mândra literally means proud, and the new knife is named for the hilly peak where Les was found by the Salvamont rescue party during filming Survivorman in Romania”.

The Manda is designed to hang around the neck for easy access, and is great for anything from small bush-work to large skinning jobs.
