Roselli Opening Knife, Sharp Point

Roselli knives are designed by Heimo Roselli, who began making knives in 1976 and researched ancient bladesmithing techniques to rediscover the secret for making ultra-high-carbon steel.  The Roselli knives are highly functional with little to no extra polish.

The Roselli Opening Knife is a gut hook, which is used to slice hides from the inside, because they're less likely to get bound up with fur or other debris from the hide's exterior.  

This is a reliable and versatile outdoor knife with a sharp edge perfect for opening fish and birds.  The blade is made from carbon steel and the handle is cut from curly birch, coated with linseed oil – which ensure a firm grip, even when wet.  The blade is also mounted opposite to the contour of the handle, so that you can maintain your grip when performing a drawing cut towards you.

Comes with handcrafted sheath of light vegetable tanned Finnish leather.

Crafted, sharpened and perfected by hand in Harmoinen, Finland.
