Product description

The Roselli Carving knife, short blade is designed for wood carving where precision and control are essential. Its short, narrow 68 mm carbon steel blade makes it easy to guide the knife through wood, particularly when working on small details, intricate shapes and delicate cuts.

The shorter blade allows you to work close to the cutting edge, giving you greater control over the direction and depth of each cut. This makes it especially well suited to detailed carving, small wooden objects and projects where accuracy matters more than blade reach.

The blade features Roselli's Scandi Grind Zero with a 14-degree bevel on each side, creating a 28-degree total edge angle. This geometry provides a sharp, controlled cutting edge that bites cleanly into wood and makes it easier to follow the grain and shape fine details.

With a hardness of around 60 HRC, the carbon steel offers a practical balance of sharpness, edge retention, durability and ease of sharpening.

The handle is made from stained curly birch and treated with linseed oil. Its ergonomic shape provides a comfortable, secure grip, helping you maintain control during both intricate carving and longer woodworking sessions.

Each knife is handmade in Harmoinen, Finland, and comes with a handcrafted blade cover made from dark, vegetable-tanned Finnish leather.

A compact, purpose-built carving knife for anyone who values precise control, a sharp edge and the satisfaction of shaping wood by hand.

FAQs

What is the Carving knife, short blade best used for?

The knife is designed for detailed wood carving and precision woodworking. Its short, narrow blade is particularly useful for small cuts, intricate shapes and projects where close control of the cutting edge is important.

What is the difference between the short and long Carving knife?

The main difference is the blade length and how each knife handles during carving. The short blade (68 mm) offers greater control for fine details, small shapes and precise cuts. The long blade (85 mm) provides more reach for longer, smoother cuts and removing larger amounts of material. Both feature Scandi Grind Zero and carbon steel with a hardness of around 60 HRC.

What is Scandi Grind Zero?

Scandi Grind Zero means the primary bevel continues directly to the cutting edge without a separate secondary bevel. On this knife, the angle is 14 degrees per side, 28 degrees in total, providing a sharp, controllable edge particularly well suited to wood carving.

What steel is used in the blade?

The blade is made from carbon steel (1075-class) with a hardness of around 60 HRC. It offers a good balance of sharpness, edge retention, durability and ease of sharpening.

Does the Carving knife, short blade come with a leather sheath?

Yes. The knife comes with a handcrafted blade cover made from dark, vegetable-tanned Finnish leather. It is designed primarily to protect the blade during storage and transport, rather than serve as a traditional belt-carry sheath.
