Heimo
Roselli Story Over twenty years ago Heimo wanted to make himself
a knife. But no smith was willing to teach him the art of
making a blade. So Heimo went to Steel itself to find the
answer. Steel spoke to him then and told him its secrets.
Only extensive trial and error reveals the true potential
of unalloyed carbon steel. Many experts agree that it makes
the best practical knives. Soon Heimo was making desired knives
for his friends and the enterprise was established to secure
his family´s income. The Philosophy of Roselli - Carbon
steel, tough curly birch and simple design make the immortal
properties of a durable and usable Roselli knife. - Smith
Heimo Roselli refuses to build any non-functional or unnecessary
attributes in his knives. The unessential is detrimental.
- Roselli knives are handmade - following the strict requirements
taught by time and experience. - A Roselli knife is more than
a knife. It is a part of the master´s own hand and character.
- Work should be enjoyable and should not be spoiled with
the use of poor all knives are complete with a quality leather
sheath and sharpening intructions .

Roselli
- R200 UHC Hunting Knife £92.95
Now
Available Roselli knives with UHC-blade Following years
of research and experiments, H.Roselli developed his own
way of processing ultra high 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, -carving,
cutting or skinning-, 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 stealth is a feature of each Roselli
knife.
Roselli´s
top of the line tool in a UHC-version
Makes a hunter´s hearth beat fast.
Also a highly esteemed gift article.
Blade: 105 mm Total lenght: 230 mm

£737.95
Part of the Roselli product range includes
highly esteemed knives produced with pattern welded Damascus
and Wootz Damascus steel.
With its origin in India and the Middle East, the history
of ultra high carbon steel dates back more than 2000 years.
The steel itself was produced in India and later became
known as Wootz. Crusaders of the Middle Ages were the first
Europeans to encounter wootz swords, which they identified
with the ancient city of Damascus. The crusaders brought
the swords to Western Europe but not the secret of how this
steel had been processed into blades. Ever since, European
metallurgists aimed at finding out about the technique to
reproduce wootz steel but none of the efforts have ever
been successful to produce blades with high quaiity damascene
patterns.
In the early days of steel forging, the pattern-welded steels
were produced by forge welding alternating sheets of high-
and low-carbon steels Consuiming process was the only way
to provide the steel with sufficient hardness. Because both
techniques result in attractive surface patterns, both wootz
and pattern welded blades have come to be known as "Damascus",
and fine pattern-welded Damascus blades are produced today
world-wide.
The technique of producing wootz Damascus is a lost art.
However, in a cooperative effort to track down the secret
of wootz steel, Roselli now has found a method to display
a similar surface pattern on his new steel which is characteristic
of Wootz blades. The Roselli Wootz has a attractive surface
pattern composed of swirling patterns of etched regions
on a dark background Apart from the correct steel composition,
the forging operations require proper temperature control
.Wootz cuts like UHC-steel - outstanding! |
