I'm really interested in getting my hands on some Helvie knives, but it seems like they're always sold out! I've been spending quite a bit on OCC and Flexcut knives, but I think the Helvie ones would be a better fit for me. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get them when they're out of stock?

Honestly, it might feel like a waiting game. A lot of us have faced the same issue. I waited about six months for my Helvie knife, and I can say it was worth the wait—definitely better than others I've tried. Just keep your eyes peeled!
Joining the waiting list is a solid option. Some folks have also resorted to paying over $200 on eBay, but I'd be careful with that since prices can get ridiculous.
If you're feeling adventurous, consider reaching out to a blacksmith. I heard that Helvie uses EN140 steel, which contributes to their quality, so maybe a custom job could work for you! Just be aware, I couldn't really find solid info on that steel type online.
Really? I tried to look up EN140 steel too, but only found stuff about masks. Seems like there's some confusion about it!
