Helle Speider is a great starting knife for those who want a solid knife with good protection.
Speider was originally designed for older scouts who had enough experience to move on to a larger and more powerful knife. The handle in dark, oiled birch is ergonomically adapted to a good four-finger grip, and the solid fingerguard provides good protection when working with the knife. The blade is in 12C27 stainless steel with a thin, Scandinavian grind and comes razor sharp out of the sheath.
Scout is delivered with a scout green sheath in leather with push button and belt suspension.

I purchased the fire kit a few weeks ago to throw in my backpack and have been really impressed. The ferro rod and striker work amazingly well, it throws sparks far better than my store-bought Coghlan’s Magnesium Fire Starter. The included wick and bellows are a great touch. once you fluff the fibers a bit it lights up easily and maintains a flame . i will supplement some of my own tinder to store in tin for later as the "tipi" is only single use
