Kletten: Small knife, long story

Some things are worth the wait. We started working on a small folding knife at the same time as we developed Bleja in 2016. The brief was to develop a lighweight folder with a three-finger grip that felt as balanced and sturdy as a small Helle fixed blade. Now we are now ready to launch: The Kleene is ready to meet the world.

In order to reach the stage we have tested different shapes, mechanisms, different screws and materials. We have ground and sanded by hand. And we have felt and used a lot of small folders. We have carried them with us in our day-to-day tasks, just like you would with a knife that is a proper Every Day Carry knife. The result is a small knife for the small adventures, but one that feels like a regular Helle knife.
