Product description

The Roselli Carpenter knife, Damascus combines the practical design of a traditional Finnish carving knife with some of the most demanding craftsmanship at Roselli. Compact, strong and easy to control, it is designed for carving, woodworking and versatile outdoor use, while also being well suited to hunters working with smaller game.

The 90 mm blade offers an excellent balance between precision and versatility. Its compact size makes it easy to guide during detailed carving and woodworking, while the substantial 4.5–5.5 mm blade gives the knife a solid and dependable feel for more demanding outdoor tasks.

The blade is made from Roselli’s own handcrafted Damascus steel, created from over 1,000 layers of steel. Each Damascus blade is made by our blacksmith Juho in Harmoinen, Finland. Creating such a fine layered structure is a meticulous and exceptionally time-intensive process that requires considerable skill, experience and craftsmanship before the blade can be shaped and finished by hand.

As the steel is worked, the intricate Damascus pattern develops throughout the blade. No two patterns are exactly alike, giving every finished knife its own individual character. With a hardness of around 60 HRC, the blade combines precise cutting performance with the distinctive appearance and exceptional craftsmanship of traditional Damascus steel.

The handle is crafted from stained Finnish curly birch and treated with linseed oil for a comfortable and secure grip. A 925 sterling silver ferrule adds a refined detail that complements the natural grain of the wood and the unique pattern of the Damascus blade.

Each Carpenter knife, Damascus is crafted, sharpened and finished by hand in Harmoinen, Finland. It comes with a handcrafted sheath made from dark, vegetable-tanned Finnish leather, a diamond sharpener and a premium gift box.

Made to individual order in Harmoinen, Finland.
