Roselli RD310P The Carpenter Knife, Damascus


Description

The Roselli RD310P Carpenter Knife in Damascus is a masterpiece of Finnish craftsmanship - a classic puukko-style blade refined for precision, detail work, and the hands of those who demand only the finest. Its narrow blade profile lends itself to finesse-driven tasks, while the slimmer handle diameter provides exceptional control and feedback, making it a natural extension of the hand for carpenters, craftsmen, and serious collectors alike. This is not simply a working knife - it is a heirloom-grade tool built to be passed down.

Handcrafted, sharpened, and perfected in Harmoinen, Finland, every element of this knife reflects old-world dedication to quality. The Damascus blade is forged from over 1,000 layers of Stenco Leuku, Fe 37 steel, and nickel, producing a blade of extraordinary beauty and around 60 HRC hardness. The handle is shaped from richly stained curly birch - etched and treated with linseed oil for a secure grip even in wet conditions - and accented with 925 sterling silver bolsters that elevate it to gallery-worthy status.


Key Features

  • Damascus Blade - 1,000+ Layers: Forged from Stenco Leuku, Fe 37 steel, and nickel for a blade that is as visually stunning as it is capable.
  • ~60 HRC Hardness: Exceptional edge retention that holds up through demanding fine woodworking and precision cutting tasks.
  • Blade Length - 90 mm (3.25"): Narrow puukko-style profile designed for detail and finesse work rather than heavy chopping.

  • Total Length - 205 mm: Compact and well-balanced overall length suited for close, controlled work.
  • Weight - 100 g: Lightweight enough for extended use without fatigue, yet solid enough to feel purposeful in the hand.

  • 925 Sterling Silver Bolsters: Premium silver fittings add an unmistakable touch of luxury and collector appeal.
  • Handcrafted Leather Sheath: Supplied with a dark vegetable-tanned leather sheath made to match the knife's premium character.
  • Made in Finland - Unique by Nature: Every knife is one-of-a-kind due to the natural variation in Damascus patterning and curly birch grain.

FAQ

Is this knife intended for use or is it primarily a collector's piece?

The Roselli RD310P is a fully functional puukko-style working knife - its narrow blade and slim handle are specifically designed for precision fine work such as carving and carpentry tasks. That said, the Damascus blade, sterling silver fittings, and unique curly birch handle make it equally at home in a display collection. Many owners treat it as both: a knife capable of serious work that is also too beautiful not to show off.

What is Damascus steel and why does it matter?

Damascus steel is created by forge-welding multiple layers of different steel alloys together and folding them repeatedly - in this case, over 1,000 layers of Stenco Leuku, Fe 37 steel, and nickel. The result is a blade with a distinctive flowing pattern unique to each knife, combined with excellent hardness (around 60 HRC) and edge retention. The layering process also enhances toughness by distributing stresses across different steel types.

Is each knife truly unique, or will mine look like the product photo?

Each Roselli Damascus Carpenter Knife is genuinely one-of-a-kind. The natural variation in curly birch grain and the flowing patterns of hand-forged Damascus steel mean no two knives are identical. Your knife will be similar in character and dimensions to what is shown, but the exact patterning of the blade and the figure of the wood handle will be unique to your piece.

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 require up to 7 additional business days to ship from the date of purchase, so plan accordingly if you are purchasing as a gift with a specific date in mind.

How should I care for a Damascus blade?

Damascus steel, particularly high-carbon layers, can be susceptible to surface patina and rust if neglected. After use, wipe the blade clean and dry it thoroughly. Apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or blade oil periodically to protect the surface. Avoid prolonged contact with acidic materials or moisture, and store the knife in its leather sheath in a dry environment. With proper care, a Roselli Damascus blade will last generations.

Does this knife ship with any protection or insurance?

Yes - shipping insurance is included with every purchase of the Roselli RD310P Damascus Carpenter Knife at no additional cost. The knife also arrives ready to present, supplied in its handcrafted vegetable-tanned leather sheath.
