Rooted in an original 1976 design, this knife was created specifically for handling medium to large game, blending timeless form with serious field functionality. The blade is forged from over 1,000 layers of Damascus steel - a combination of Stenco Leuku, Fe 37 steel, and nickel - delivering exceptional edge retention and a striking, one-of-a-kind pattern on every blade.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The handle is crafted from beautifully stained curly birch, etched and treated with linseed oil to ensure a secure, confident grip even in wet conditions. Sterling silver 925 bolsters add a refined elegance that makes this knife as much a collector's piece as it is a working tool. Handcrafted, sharpened, and perfected by hand in Harmoinen, Finland, the RD300P represents the pinnacle of Roselli's knife-making tradition.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamascus Blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forged from over 1,000 layers of Stenco Leuku, Fe 37 steel, and nickel - each blade is visually unique with distinctive layered patterning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length - 105 mm (approx. 4\"):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sized perfectly for field dressing and processing medium to large game with control and precision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness - ~60 HRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptional edge retention that holds up under demanding use in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness - 4.5-5.5 mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stout and robust construction built to handle heavy-duty cutting tasks without flexing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurly Birch Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stained and linseed oil-treated for a secure grip in wet or cold conditions, with natural variation making every handle unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSterling Silver 925 Bolsters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision ferrule fittings that add both structural integrity and an unmistakable premium aesthetic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Length - 230 mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-balanced overall length that offers reach and control for field use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight - 180 g:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid and substantial in hand without being cumbersome during extended use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted in Finland:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every knife is individually crafted, sharpened, and finished in Harmoinen, Finland - no two are exactly alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegetable Tanned Leather Sheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied with a handcrafted dark-tanned leather sheath for safe carry and long-term storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal 1976 Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e A proven pattern unchanged for decades, trusted by hunters and collectors worldwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Insurance Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shipping insurance is included with every purchase for added peace of mind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoselli RD300P Hunting Knife with Damascus blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandcrafted dark-tanned vegetable tanned leather sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The Roselli RD300P is not simply a knife - it is a heirloom-quality tool that serious hunters and collectors will treasure for a lifetime.

This process creates a blade with a beautiful, unique surface pattern and combines the properties of each steel type, resulting in excellent edge retention, toughness, and strength. No two Damascus blades are identical, which also makes them highly prized by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this knife suitable for everyday hunting use or is it primarily a collector's piece?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Roselli RD300P is genuinely both. Its original 1976 design was purpose-built for handling medium to large game, and the blade geometry, length, and weight all reflect that practical heritage. At the same time, the Damascus steel, sterling silver bolsters, and hand-finished curly birch handle make it a standout collector's piece. Many owners choose to use it in the field and display it at home - it is built rugged enough to earn that privilege.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow do I care for a Damascus steel blade?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eDamascus steel requires a little more attention than stainless steel because it can be susceptible to oxidation. After use, clean and dry the blade thoroughly, then apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or blade oil to protect the surface. Avoid leaving the blade wet or storing it in the leather sheath for extended periods without first drying it. With proper care, your Damascus blade will maintain its striking pattern and sharp edge for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs engraving available for this knife?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - custom engraving is available for an additional $12 USD. Please note that custom-engraved knives may take up to 7 days from the date of purchase before they ship.
