An old favorite is returning to the Helle lineup. The Futura was originally launched in 2002, and quickly became a favorite due to its beautiful lines and functional drop-point blade.
The knife was designed by German Helle fan Herman Wolf, who envisioned it as a modern Scandinavian utility knife that would perform well both as a camping knife and a hunting knife. The distinct finger grove provides a secure grip, while the H3LS drop-point blade provides excellent balance between cutting power and control.
The tanned leather sheath features a snap button that wraps around the handle., securing the knife in the sheath while also displaying the beautiful curly birch handle.

Got this knife for my nephews 18th birthday. Really wanted to get him something special that he could keep a lifetime. He loved it. His grandpa was jealous though haha, but now I got a gift idea for him.

This Knife Should Never Be Retired Again
The design, amazing! Sharpness, razor-sharp! The feel, it’s like an extension of the hand…it feels like it belongs there. Great at the campsite, perfect hunting knife. If I were to change anything, I would make it 1 mm thicker and full tang. Highly recommend this for light duty camping/hunting.

This is a lovely knife.
A little different, but as attractive as it is in the photos, it is so much better in the hand. It is light, perfectly balanced and razor sharp. For anyone not convinced by the sheath, the replacement sheath for the Alden fits perfectly and is also available in a left-handed version.

Very impressed 👍
I received the Future not long ago and I have to say I was blown away by this knife! It's my first Helle knife and immediately I was impressed with the color and quality of the wood used in the handle. It's very light and feels great in the hand. It came razor sharp and have had no trouble cutting all kinds of things with it and so far have been very happy with its performance. I would definitely recommend this knife.
