Roselli RD320P The Grandfather Knife, Damascus

Description

The Roselli Grandfather Knife in Damascus is a masterpiece of Finnish craftsmanship - a stout, generously proportioned working blade that earns its place in any serious knife collection. Handcrafted in Harmoinen, Finland, this knife features a hand-forged Damascus blade built from over 1,000 layers of Stenco Leuku, Fe 37 steel, and nickel, producing a blade of extraordinary beauty and around 60 HRC hardness. It is equally at home as a rugged field skinner, a heritage-inspired bushcraft blade, or the crown jewel of a collector's display.

The handle is carved from stained curly birch - etched and coated with linseed oil for a secure, slip-resistant grip even in cold or wet conditions - and accented with bolsters of 925 sterling silver for a finish that is as elegant as it is functional. Because it is made from natural materials, every single piece is entirely unique in pattern and texture. It arrives in a handcrafted vegetable-tanned dark leather sheath, completing one of the most compelling knife packages available from Finland today.
