- My review after 1 year using the Les Stroud designed Helle Mandra
From Helle Norway site:
Mândra knife designed and field tested with Les Stroud, a.k.a “Survivorman”.
We are very proud to present the Mândra, developed by Helle and Les Stroud - “Survivorman”.
In order to perfect the design of this newest Helle knife, we travelled to the raw, remote and overwhelmingly beautiful country of Romania working alongside Les Stroud on his latest Survivorman episodes.
The location of the expedition was situated in the Carpathian, a 1.450 kilometre mountain range extending through Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Romania and Serbia. An area of great dynamic contrast with both picturesque valleys and striking mountain peaks of over 2.500 metres.
An area of untouched nature, the Carpathian Mountains have impressive flora and fauna in addition to presenting the largest populations of brown bears, wolves, chamois and lynxes in Europe.
From a cultural perspective this area is the border between Europe and Asia with the famous Transylvanian Dracula legend based on the Ottoman controversy between the Romanians and the Turks.
During Les’ time in Romania, early prototypes of The Mândra were utilized in the Survivorman Romania episode. Adjustments and refinements were then integrated into the final design with Anders working directly on location with Les when he returned from his film excursion.
“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”.
Les Stroud continues: “Put to the test during my intense filming of Survivorman and inspired by the raw and breathtaking nature of Romania, I now have the pleasure of unveiling my latest knife collaboration with Anders Haglund and Helle knives; The Mândra.”

Been looking at this Helle mandra or the casstrom mini safari knife which has a slightly bigger handle. Hard decision between the two. Great to actually see someone using it like I would. Thanks for your review.
I was thinking of getting one of these as my 8 year old nephews first Bushcraft knife.
Depends on his skill ... I wouldn't do that for my 8 year old I'd personally give it in the teens. Mora knives makes a knife for pre teens with finger guards to provide more safety from slippage
Backcountry King Outdoors Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at the Mora. x
Thanks that is a nice knife. Maybe someday I will get one. The rose hip tea blew my mind. We have an invasive species multiflora rose. I just looked it up after the first frost the rose buds become soft and sweet and are edible and tea can be made. ow I wot dislike the plant as much. Is that what you picked, multiflora rose hips?
Hi my friend it looks very similar but i cannot say 100% if its the same plant as there are so many different species!
Thanks for sharing I find the handle on the thin side and the loop on the sheath cumbersome more like a belt loop otherwise it's OK
Thanks for commenting! No Issues with the handle for me .. but as a neck knife the weight does make it swing a bit and its certainly more equipped for belt than neck. Cheers my friend
Nice vidéo félicitations excellent partage 👍@bientôt friend Actéon nature France
I gotta get me a Helle to try !,;;;:;,, Cheers bro !,:;:;, Spook
You do spook I know you've been eyeing one for a while!
Superbe vidéo merci pour se partage 🌿 👍@bientôt Actéon
Thanks for commenting ! Cheers
hello! how often to you feel the need to sharpen? after each outing+usage or not quite as often?
The steel is meant to be more wear resistant than 14C28N so it's very good. Probably better than O1 steel and at the moment i would prefer it over N690 because of micro chipping concerns. I may buy this or the 8cm + version.
If they made a scout carry option for this guy I'd be all over it
Make your own :)
Humm bark river or LT or helle lol can’t choose
👍🔪🔪
Thanks my friend nice to see ya on here as well !
