Roselli Grandfather Knife?

[HoosierQ]

Wow...this is a very cool knife and I want one badly. It is also on Ragnar's site and that's where I'll buy it but this is a better picture. There is a little video that is kind of cool...showing 4 Roselli knives.

Anybody got one of these? Liking it? Steel? (I know it's carbon).

Seems to me that coupling this Roselli with a big, beastly survival knife (RAT, Gerber LMF, Ranger, Grayman, Ka-Bar, etc), and you'd really have a fixed blade bug out combo hard to beat.

Yeah, you would nail that man. That is basically what this is...a hand forged working knife. This fellow Roselli works at a forge up near the Acrtic Circle up there in Finland turning these things out...and a bunch of others too.

I have a bunch of Mora's and I want to "move over" to Finland.

I have two Roselli Carpenter's knives, one in UHC (Ultra High Carbon) and one standard. The UHC is harder on the Rockwell scale (Ragnar explains the difference on his website). Both take and hold an excellent edge. I was given a Roselli Hunter, but the handle was too big so I traded it for the UHC Carpenter. I feel well equipped with either Roselli and my small Wetterlings hatchet. My wife uses her UHC Carpenter as a go-to knife in the kitchen. I haven't carried my Bucks or Moras since I put a shaving edge on the Rosellis. Ragnar is great to do business with. Prompt shipping, good service.

I've got the grandmothers knife for a pocket fixed blade. The steel is really good for hold ian edge. Can't go wrong with a Roselli. Or Ragnar's.

I have the Roselli Carpenter's knife in regular carbon steel. Really great all-around knife and a great edge. The Roselli's fit the hand very well and lessen hand fatigue once you to get used to the "un-american" appearance.

hands on experience

That lessening of hand fatigue is an important characteristic; the Nordic knives have that right. -Among other things.

I'm not arthritic, thank God, but have been out in the woods when it was below zero, and as any ironworker, auto mechanic, etc. can tell you; when those hands get cold they do stiffen to the point where only gross manipulation is possible.

I love the wood handles too.
