In 2022, we added a new version of the classic Gaupe knife. Equally beautiful and balanced as its sibling with a 12C27.
Named after the Norwegian name for Lynx, this knife has somewhat the same characters. Really beautiful to look at and powerful when it comes to its performance. Gaupe features a classic Scandinavian shape with a small fingerguard, and a handle well shaped by hand for secure grip.
The choice between 12C27 and H3LS (laminated) all comes down to how you want to use your knife

I like the design and feel of the knife. I was disappointed that I found machine marks on the blade edge. It is a working knife for me but I would have preferred to be the one to scar it.
