Hi, I like your review. I have been looking for a good Finnish knife for a while. I have checked out Roselli before, but didn't go ahead. Now I planned to get one. I am going to sell off a few of my other knives... take care
The full tang version is significantly more expensive. As a practical matter, why should anyone pay more? That is, under what actual usage conditions would the regular fail so that you would really need the full tang? 0:19
Thats how I feel about my most recent purchase. I have been putting off buying an Enzo Brisa Elver for over 6 years . I would have saved myself money and time cause i love the little thing . Its the perfect belt knife in my opinion and im planing on selling off what knives i have left . Im only keeping what I will use and getting rid of the rest. Ive found that all I need is about a 3 to 4 inch blade with a good full grip.
Hello, I like the look of this one as a lightweight, low-profile, but capable, high-carbon bushcraft knife. And you're the only one that's done a review 'in the field'. I've looked at the two versions I've found: RW40 '40th Anniversary Wootz' (UHC/ Teak); R42 'Heimo 4" Bushcraft' (Roselli's standard high carbon steel/ Curly Birch). I'm confused as to which one you have because you say you have the 'Bushcraft' one, AND that it has Ultra High Carbon steel of the special edition... I wanted to know if the UHC version would be too brittle for some bushcraft duties. And I also wanted to know if UHC is trickier to sharpen in the field. You say you've batoned with it and it did fine, no chips. Generally, I'm leaning towards playing it safe with Roselli's standard high carbon steel. It's already one of the best out there, according to what I've heard in the past. And I note that Roselli don't have any of their regular full-tang knives in UHC, which may suggest they don't think we should be playing 'full-tang-rough' with that steel... Like you, I've been close to getting a Roselli knife for years. Love the 'braw' simplicity of the Scandinavian design, but that hump of a quasi-finger-guard kept me at bay. Older and wiser, I see how, potentially, if you put the 'weight' of you hold in a certain way it should actually guide and stabilise your grip. A guard when you need it, a gauge when you don't. And then you get the little 'spoon scraper' at the end with a lanyard hole in this model...
These knives are both functional and beautiful. The steel is superb! I believe these are great people!
That is a very Nice knife indeed.
Thanks for dropping by

Brilliant news that you have found your knife. It takes time but when you find it you know
Hi, this is UHC version?
I believe so because UHC is etched on blade but my understanding was it wasn't supposed to be.
