Struggling to Find Helvie Knives in Stock—Any Tips?

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?

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.

CraftyFox123: Really? I tried to look up EN140 steel too, but only found stuff about masks. Seems like there's some confusion about it!

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.

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!

Am I missing an item on Helvie Knives that specifically says, or refers to, "Wait List"? I have sent a couple of messages on their website asking how to get on the LIST but I've gotten no response. Any help is appreciated! Thanks,
