Roselli RD330P The Grandmother Knife, Damascus
Description
The Roselli Grandmother Knife is a compact, all-round Finnish blade rooted in generations of tradition - the name "Mummunhammas" (grandmother's tooth) traces back to a time when elders relied on small, nimble knives for everyday tasks like chopping food. This Damascus version elevates that heritage to a collector-grade level, forged from over 1,000 layers of Roselli's own handmade Damascus steel for a striking, timeless pattern and exceptional edge performance. At just 155 mm in total length, it's small enough to carry anywhere yet substantial enough for real outdoor use in the woods, field, or camp.
Handcrafted entirely in Harmoinen, Finland, every detail of this knife speaks to the craft behind it - from the stained curly birch handle finished with linseed oil for a secure grip even in wet conditions, to the exclusive sterling silver 925 ferrules and the dark vegetable-tanned Finnish leather sheath. This is a knife for the serious hunter, the passionate collector, or anyone who wants a piece of living Finnish knife-making tradition.

FAQ
What makes Roselli's Damascus steel special compared to other Damascus knives?
Roselli produces their own handmade Damascus steel in-house in Finland, using over 1,000 layers of Stenco Leuku, Fe 37 steel, and nickel. This level of craftsmanship is rare - most production Damascus knives use imported steel or machine-assisted processes. The result is a blade with a genuinely unique pattern, exceptional edge retention at around 60 HRC, and a character that reflects centuries of Finnish smithing tradition.
Is the Grandmother Knife practical for outdoor use, or is it mainly a collector's piece?
It's genuinely both. The compact 55 mm blade and stout 4.5-5.5 mm thickness make it a highly capable everyday carry and outdoor knife - the original design was used for practical tasks like food preparation. At the same time, the Damascus steel, sterling silver ferrules, and handcrafted Finnish leather sheath make it a natural centerpiece for any serious knife collection. Many owners carry it regularly and proudly.
How do I care for the Damascus blade and curly birch handle?
Damascus steel requires a little more care than stainless steel. After use, dry the blade thoroughly and apply a light coat of food-safe oil or knife oil to prevent surface patina or rust. The curly birch handle is finished with linseed oil - occasional re-oiling will keep it looking great and ensure a firm grip over time. Avoid soaking the handle in water and store the knife out of its sheath in humid conditions for long-term storage.
Can I add custom engraving to this knife?
Yes - custom engraving is available for an additional $12 USD at the time of purchase. Please note that custom-engraved knives may take up to 7 days from the date of purchase before they ship, so plan accordingly if this is intended as a gift.
What is the origin of the name "Grandmother Knife" or "Mummunhammas"?
"Mummunhammas" is a Finnish word that translates to "grandmother's tooth." The name comes from a traditional practice where elderly women used small, handy knives to chop and prepare food after losing their teeth. This design is a nod to that practical heritage - a small but capable blade with deep cultural roots in Finnish everyday life.
