Forged carbon	Ultra High Carbon	Axes/Hatchets
Ulu (traditional)		Cooks gift sets

With the passing of each year there’s a greater understanding of Arctic-style knives and desire by Australian users to invest in Nordic-made ‘knivblads’. Hunters, survivalists and other serious knife & axe users are always on the lookout for practical and reliable edgeware to pack on forays into our bushland and wilderness areas. A growing number adventurous outdoors folk are now packing H ROSELLI of FINLAND working knives and axes for those forays. 

After scouring Norden for truly representative working knives, the AKC imported its first experimental range of H ROSELLI KNIVES in 1995. From that moment onwards, these uniquely different and specialized items of bladeware have steadily gained acceptance on the Australian market. ‘Down Under’ we’ve learned to warm to an intriguing knife-sheath concept that’s been in vogue at the ‘Top End of the Planet’ for more than 1,000 years. Laplanders - indigenous folk who live inside the Artic Circle (far north of Norway, Sweden, Finland & Russia) - swear by bladeware forged at the factory of Heimo Roselli just south of their border. Laplanders comprise of Mountain Lapps, Sea Lapps or River Lapps and such is their dependence upon edged tools, that only the best will do – which is why H ROSELLI knives & axes are so popular on top of the world. 

That ‘only the best will do’ is what we look for in OZ too. It’s what you cannot see that counts with H ROSELLI.  Bladesmith Heimo Roselli refuses to build anything non-functional or unnecessary into his knives – the unessential is detrimental!

"The knife must carve  and cut well. For the blade, only the finest quality carbon steel is acceptable; steel which the smith will forge into a keen tool. For the handle, attractive curly birch. This noble tool grows in beauty the more you use it and before you know it, you'll have fallen in love with it."    - Heimo Roselli

Following years of research and experiments, H Roselli developed his own way of processing ultra carbon containing bladesteel (1.5-2.0%). The outstanding edge holding properties of UHC-steel results from the high amount of hard carbides produced in the forging process.

Whatever the job, UHC-steel holds its edge longer. In fact the edge retains its sharpness twice as long as conventional carbon steel. The handles of UHC-knives are made of birch, kiln-dried and stained, to ensure a good grip. A strongly constructed leather sheath is a feature to each Roselli knife.
