Product description

The Roselli Bear claw knife, UHC is a small and versatile outdoor knife made for those who prefer maximum control in a compact format. Its short blade and rounded handle make it comfortable to carry and easy to handle for precise cutting around camp and in the outdoors.

The compact blade is well suited to detailed cutting, light woodworking, preparing kindling and other everyday outdoor tasks. Its size also makes it a practical knife to keep close at hand when hiking, camping or spending time in the forest.

At the heart of the knife is Roselli’s own Ultra High Carbon (UHC) steel, developed for exceptional sharpness and outstanding edge retention. Hardened to approximately 64 HRC, the blade takes an exceptionally keen edge and holds it through demanding, precise cutting, meaning more time working with a sharp knife and less time resharpening.

The handle is crafted from curly birch and treated with linseed oil for a secure and comfortable grip. Its compact shape sits naturally in the hand and provides excellent control, while the natural grain of the wood makes every handle unique.

Each knife is crafted, sharpened and finished by hand in Harmoinen, Finland. It comes with a handcrafted sheath made from dark, vegetable-tanned Finnish leather for secure carry and long-term use.

Roselli UHC steel is optimized for exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. Like any high-hardness knife steel, it performs best with smooth, controlled cutting rather than striking against bone or other very hard materials.
