Product description

The Roselli Grandfather knife, Damascus is a compact hunting and outdoor knife based on our classic Hunting knife. With its shorter 75 mm blade, it offers excellent control while remaining easy to carry, making it a practical companion for hunting and other outdoor tasks.

The slightly curved blade is particularly well suited to precise work when processing game. Its compact size allows you to guide the blade closely and maintain control during detailed cutting tasks, while still providing the strength and versatility expected from a dependable outdoor knife.

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. Producing a blade with such a fine layered structure is a meticulous and time-intensive process that requires considerable skill 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 Grandfather 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.

FAQs

What is the Grandfather knife best used for?

The Grandfather knife is designed for hunting, processing game and precise outdoor cutting tasks. Its compact 75 mm blade provides excellent control, making it particularly useful when accuracy and maneuverability are more important than a longer blade.

Why choose a shorter hunting knife?

A shorter blade provides greater control during detailed cutting tasks. The Grandfather knife’s 75 mm blade is easy to guide closely when processing game and performing precise outdoor work, while its compact size also makes it convenient to carry.

What makes Roselli Damascus steel special?

Roselli’s handcrafted Damascus steel is created from over 1,000 layers of steel. Each Damascus blade is made by our blacksmith Juho in Harmoinen, Finland, through a meticulous and time-intensive process requiring considerable skill and craftsmanship. The fine layered structure creates the intricate pattern running through the blade, making every knife visually unique.

What is the difference between the Grandfather knife and the Hunting knife?

The Grandfather knife is a shorter, more compact version of Roselli’s classic Hunting knife. Its 75 mm blade provides greater control for detailed work and is easier to carry, while the larger Hunting knife offers more blade length for bigger cutting tasks and processing larger game.

Why choose the Grandfather knife, Damascus?

The Damascus version combines the practical, compact design of the Grandfather knife with some of Roselli’s most demanding craftsmanship. Its blade is created from over 1,000 layers of steel and paired with a 925 sterling silver ferrule and stained Finnish curly birch. The result is a highly functional hunting and outdoor knife where every blade has its own individual pattern and character.
