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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  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.\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 Steel Blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forged from over 1,000 layers of Stenco Leuku, Fe 37 steel, and nickel - produces a beautiful, traditional pattern with outstanding edge retention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness - Around 60 HRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e High hardness rating delivers a razor-sharp, long-lasting edge well-suited to both fine cutting tasks and outdoor use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length - 55 mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, stout blade ideal for detailed cutting work and everyday carry in the woods or field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Length - 155 mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slim and packable profile that fits easily in a pocket, pack, or on a belt without bulk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness - 4.5-5.5 mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robust spine provides durability and confidence for utility tasks despite the knife's small footprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight - 80 g:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight enough for all-day carry without sacrificing the feel of a solid, well-made tool in hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStained Curly Birch Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Linseed oil finish enhances grip in wet conditions and showcases the natural beauty of Finnish birch grain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSterling Silver 925 Ferrules:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exclusive silver fittings add an heirloom-quality finish, distinguishing this as a true collector's piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted Finnish Leather Sheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark vegetable-tanned Finnish leather sheath included - traditional construction for lasting protection and style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Engraving Available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optional personalized engraving for $12 USD makes this an exceptional gift for a hunter, outdoorsman, or knife enthusiast.\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 RD330P Grandmother Knife with Damascus blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandcrafted dark vegetable-tanned Finnish leather sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShipping insurance\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  Roselli knives are among the most respected handcrafted blades to come out of Finland, and the Damascus Grandmother Knife represents the pinnacle of that tradition.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the Grandmother Knife practical for outdoor use, or is it mainly a collector's piece?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eIt'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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eCan I add custom engraving to this knife?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - custom engraving is available for an additional $12 USD at the time of purchase.
