- Well disappointed in this knife that I have look forward to using for a long time. Beautiful looking blade. Great quality steel. Just a pity the handle let it down.

Prior Planning and Preparation Prevents a Piss Poor Performance
Your dog is a real character. He was desperate to help you chop up that plastic bottle.
He is a great boy. He loves his woods time lol
Literally not what the knife was designed to do, it failed doing a job it wasn't meant for. Get a hatchet or just use the leuku to carve a splitting wedge.
Well basically knife is useless and where does it say it’s not to baton wood?
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 It's a leuku, they're made for trimming twigs and small saplings, basic carving and butchery... it's a stick tang knife, they were never designed for hammering through firewood, that is why we also invented froes and hatchets.
Good to know m8. It will be my last I buy from them. I don’t use axes often as I am out in the myself. It’s more for safety thing. Never used a freo
Tbh buddy a Leuku is designed for principally, de-limbing, cutting saplings and a bit of butchery...not for being hammered through a 6" log in what seems to have become a modern bushcraft obsession " battening"...Saying that, I also dislike my Roselli small Leuku, especially the handle which I reshaped pretty quickly after use...
I here what you are saying but I need my knives to be able to baton to get to the dry wood. Most of the time a axe is not a option for me

One answer..
Becker bk2..👍🙂
I appreciate the video, and yet I have some issues. The leuku is a knife of the Sami people, indigenous to northern Lapland. That's tundra country, i.e. treeless country. The leuku is intended for meat (reindeer) processing.
In 30 years of backpacking in the far North, I have never seen a person "batoning".
If a tool is used beyond it's intended purpose, and breaks, it's not the tool's fault, in my humble opinion.
How very true. That’s ok if you carry a axe, but like me i dont and i need to get to the dry wood so i need to baton with a knife. The way the Roselli LEUKU is made/designed it’s clear not made to baton any size of wood so its sent me on a journey of designing a LEUKU that i can baton with and hopefully will have it prototyped by the end of the year and start testing it into the new year.
Thanks for the feedback back, much appreciated 👍🏴
The bolster design fails. Other brands make Leuku with a very long bolster to cover at least 3-4cm over the wooden handle. The inox, or brass bolster would add more strength to the design when it comes to chopping, and batoning. As a hobby knife maker, I have a lot of South East Asian Hmong knives, as well as puukko and leukus. For batoning, and chopping blades, a big and wide bolster is required. In Thailand, they make it extra long like almost 6cm.
In the end Roselli failed, but other leukus with better design might not.
Would definitely help the this LEUKU if that was done.
Your choice of mallet is 100% wrong. It’s so thin and light weight that only pass your energy to the knife and its handle and your left hand as choke. Merely a little energy is passing to the log you want to split.
M8 you are probably right,but on the day that’s what I had been using. Cheers 👍
Sorry about the fail m8, it was a pretty blade. Back in the day when these traditional styles came about I think that steel was somewhat scarce and so they got by with what they could. Many of the traditional designs are not quite as robust as they could be. I've had a few rat-tailed tangs fail on me in the past and not just from batoning. I love the look of the older designs but when it comes to working blades it's definitely full tang for me with my Permali or some other laminate scales. That hiking stick is a beauty!!!
I agree with you there m8. Full tang all the way. Beautiful walking staff 👍
Idiotic test! You should have bought a full tang Roselli leuku for that job or Roselli axe.
Wasn’t aware that they did one. Send me a link 🔗
Easy to rehandle if you wish or just put some decent epoxy in there if you don't mind the small imperfection. Warm it a little and pack in with a thin object such as a credit card.
Try the skrama 200 or 240 instead....cant brake that one...thats a promise!!
Broken two already m8. Look back on my catalog of videos
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 omg.......how????🫣
That’s a shame, my wood jewel Leuku has a sort of horn base plate on it which might be some sort of shock absorber I’ve never experienced the vibrations you described nor an damage to the handle
I don’t baton logs as big as that though as I use a firebox which is about as much as you can get away with on the outskirts of London
Maybe they don’t have trees as thick as that in the arctic?
Thanks for sharing regards Mick
It is a same m8. Was looking forward to using a leuku too
That's really too bad. I have battoned a lot of hidden tang knives (including traditional khukuri) over the years and haven't really had any issues.
Keep us posted if they fix it!
Their warranty doesn’t cover any damage caused by batoning m8.
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 I just saw your other reply to my comment on the first video, that is lame. This looks more like the wood itself wasn't cured properly or it was cracked from putting the tang in to me. The battoning simply brought the flaw to light. They aren't a cheap leukko and would likely shine with a different handle material such as stacked birch bark, micarta, g10 or stacked leather.
Stacked leather is hands down my favorite for hidden tangs.
You could be right bud. As I didn’t go over the top with the batoning
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 no you didn't! The vibration also tells me that the handle is not set properly either, which can be a huge issue with hidden tang knives. When I get home (finally) this week, I will try and post up some testing of my new Wood Jewel and Ahti leukko knives.
They are thinner stock at about 3mm but I have battoned traditional pukko before with no issues as well as my traditional khukuri.
Tag me in m8. Will love to see your videos 👍
Hey mate another great vid shame about the luku hopefully you will get it sorted on the topic of the contender I’m currently torn between the contender or the origin kukri after chatting with Kev yesterday he was telling me he only has 8mm steel in due to the Ukraine issues so it’s between an 8mm contender that would be a heck of a splitter or the original kukri that he has some blanks already done and I honestly can’t decide between the 2 so as someone who has a lot of experience with both I’m interested in your opinion on what would be better thanks
The kukri is a thinking man’s knife that takes a bit of time to get proficient with and for that reason it ain’t everyone’s cup of tea. Where the contender is pick it up and go, that can give any of my Busses a very good run for it’s money at a fraction of the price. I find the contender was a much better blade than my fat battle mistress with greater capabilities
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 thanks for the opinion mate much appreciated do you think 8mm would work for that blade or be too cumbersome
I managed ok with my 8mm blades, the Fat Battle mistress and the Origin knives Akkad. I think it’s down to your grip strength and what you intended to do with the blades. For most people I don’t think a 8mm knife is suitable for most, but if you have the strength go for it.
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 cheers for the advice mate appreciate it
Nb bud. Anytime 👍🔪
Right.. Like reviewing a filleting knife by doing woodcarving with it. The fail wasn't Roselli's.
Do Roselli knives have blacksmith mark on blade? I see Roselli name on sheath and on handle but nothing on blades.
Not that I am aware of m8, but I am not saying it ain’t possible. It was my first Roselli knife and my last so don’t really have much field time with them
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 I was interested in this blade. But it is so weird since most other blades from Finlad I saw had some stamp.
Anyway thanks for info and video... showing limits of stick tang knives ;]
So in this case it wasn't the tang that failed but the vibrations through the handle 🤔
I think the tuning fork effect that sends the shock to the the handle slabs has caused it to crack m8
That’s a shame bud. I know you wanted one of those for ages.
Quite disappointed with the Roselli warranty. Obviously they know the handle design is weak
I'm Gob smacked to be honest a traditional leuku is built for hard work should be full tang your right
Me too m8. Expected a lot more from Roselli
No pun intended but that's shocking that, I don't think you abused the knife with anything daft, you'd think it would have no trouble battening through that size wood.
I agree with you a 100% m8. I must say I am disappointed with Roselli as their warranty doesn’t cover your knife if you baton with your knife which suggests they know it’s a problem with the vibration
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 That's ridiculous, I would understand if they refused when splitting log's but for me, that style of knife should easily cope with the size of wood you were chopping, not a company I would choose with that sort of attitude, it's obviously not meant to be a working knife but a wall hanger.🤦
I think it’s for the posers that go to the bushcraft shows with the crease’s still in their shirts and price tags on the soles of their shoes lol. You know the the type 😉
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 😂🤣👍I certainly do all the gear and no idea 👍
Pmsl 🤣
PЯӨMӨƧM ⭐
A machete or axe can be better is to big for a carry on pocket but small for heavy duty jobs
Told you pal 😉 it's good steel but the handles are carp.🫣I'd send it to me so I can put a leather or birch bark handle on it "estwing" style..it'll last then 😁all the best Lincoln 🤙👍
Yip you sure did m8. I think it’s going into the knife drawer. Thanks for the offer. I appreciate it bud 👍
Shame 🙄think a knife that long should have a differential temper so there's a bit of give in the handle 👌nowt worse than chopping and your fillings falling out with vibration 😳 either that or a distal taper so the shock goes the other way 😉
Definitely agree there Lincoln with you 👍
Doesn't stacked leather also transfer a decent amount of shock? This all all only anecdotal of course so if there's an another reason id love to know, but isnt alot of the problem more due to lekku blades typically rather very thin and light proportional to length?
Yes it does but not to the same extent as wood in my experience. I only seam to get this kind of shock from knives with tapered tangs so far. So I am going to put it down that and as you said the portion of blade length to handle length will definitely affect it
