Details

Long outdoor axe with red elm wood handle, handy tool for adventures in the wilderness. Strong, sharp, perfect for felling and splitting wood. Comes with a handcrafted leather sheath with practical loop for carrying.

Product description

This is Roselli's Finnish handmade outdoor axe with a long handle of red elm that gives you that extra power when splitting wood.

Our axes always keep their promises and are considered by many to be the perfect companion and tool when you go out into the wilderness. Roselli's axes are strong, have an extreme sharpness and can easily be used for felling, pruning and timbering. They are also an outstanding tool for wood splitting and tensioning, as the axes' wide blade angle prevents them from getting stuck when you split.

Comes with a simplistic, dark vegetable tanned Finnish leather case to protect the edge and a practical loop which enables carrying in a belt or attaching to a backpack. The handle is made from red elm and coated with linseed oil to ensure a firm grip, even when wet.

  • Hunting & Carpenter knife!

    Both knives have character, one with a blade that is super sharp and "lives" just like the birch handle itself; here you can see the work of a blacksmith, the effort and the time, that's just great. As great as the new CPM steels are, a carbon blade with 60 HRC is simply better (I maintain all my knives anyway) and nothing happens with a bit of oil.

  • Never without my Roselli!

    Never head out without my Roselli, at least one of them. They all hold a good edge. My 19 inch Axe splits firewood like butter and my Grandfather knife is always on my belt, if not my Heimo. Good steel and comfortable wood handles.

  • Roselli Carving knife

    A very nice carving knife. Made from carbon steel. Sharp and I'm sure it is sharp for a long time.

  • Roselli are by far the best!

    I have owned Roselli knives and axes for many years... I probably have 60 knives or more, but the Rosellis are by far the best!

  • Fantastic knife!

    The Bear Claw, UHC is a knife that I've been looking for. I carry it with me everyday around my neck. It's insanely sharp.

  • The blade is a razor!

    The finish and handling are top notch! The blade is a razor, butchering the boar was a breeze!

    Raf

  • Exceptional knife!

    I recently bought your Big Leuku and I find it to be an exceptional knife. I've used it before to prune a large branch and make wood for a fire and despite having put in some hard work it still cuts like a razor. Fantastic Roselli!

    Franco

  • I own 10 knives from Roselli!

    Over the years, I have bought many knives of various types from various companies. That changed when I got my first knife from Roselli. I was thrilled and realized what a proper knife should look like. Since then, I have had 10 different knives from Roselli, including kitchen knives and also an axe. Amazing quality and craftsmanship. I highly recommend them to everyone.

    Milan

  • Roselli is irreplaceable!

    I have been using Roselli knives for about 2 years. Great for survival, preparing meat and fish, and also good for bushcraft. Roselli's steel is extremely compatible with fire steel. I also love the history of Roselli. For me, Roselli is irreplaceable.

    Kouya

  • Best small bushcraft knife!

    The Carpenter is the best small bushcraft knife I ever had. Beautiful, comfortable, light as a feather, has a very good edge geometry and factory sharpness, and keeps that edge for a long-long time. And when it's time to strop, it takes no time to get that scary edge back. My other purchase was the Hunter. The handle is a bit too big for my hand, but I love the bladeshape very much. I can definitely see why it is such a popular knife! I will probably buy a blade and make my own handle to fit me better. I will definitely get a Carving Knife and a Roselli Axe too!

    Bence

  • I have almost all of Roselli's knives!

    I now have almost all of Roselli's knives and the axe with a short handle, all of them are simply fantastic.
