Adler Rheinland Axe (New)

Will sand the black off before putting scales on. A very handy size. There is a subtle angle of the handle to blade.

I am an engineer. My favorite definition of engineering is, "The ART of executing a practical application of scientific knowledge." I am usually impressed with molded plastic, Kydex, or leather sheaths when I take time to carefully examine them and note their features, fit, and finish. Yet this one is definitely near the top of the scale. It is beautifully cut and molded, and edges are finished, with no apparent glitches anywhere. Plus the design is clean and neat, with even an adjustment bolt to change the sheath opening to suit your preference. Of course, Redbeard always deals in quality, so it makes sense. This is a very simple, practical, creative sheath, and I was as impressed with it as I expected to be. 👍

Very impressive hand axe. Generous axe head, well designed and a bit larger than expected. The treatment of the bottom of the handle was a pleasant surprise. Whatever that black coating is works very well. The texture makes for a very secure grip.

Fit perfectly

Great blade, mounted in deer horn

The knife is beautiful and fits in my large hands securely. The contouring on the front and back of the handle makes for a secure and comfortable grip in different positions. I prefer it to my Eggen for this reason. The blade came razed sharp out of the box. My only complaint is the sheath. I don’t like the appoint. Which looks juvenile and gimmicky to me. But that’s just aesthetics. My real problem with the sheath is the poor fitment of a plastic insert. Ir does not sit flush with the side of the sheath like in my other Helle sheaths and tends to catch on the blade when I put the knife back in the holster. The knife draws easily enough and is very secure in the sheath, but I have to carefully a lie in the knife to put it back in. I think this is a quality control rather than a design issue.

5/5 for the knife. 2/5 for the sheath.

This is one beautiful knife. The workmanship on the birch bark handle is exceptional. The handle is also practical. It fits my large hand perfectly and it feels secure. I am not concerned about it slipping. The sheath is also great, well-made and a nice belt loop. Ragweed customer service is super too. Redbeard is very knowledgeable and gives good advice.

This is a great puukko knife. It is well made. The craftmanship is superb. The stained curly birch handle fits my large hand perfectly and is good looking. The blade is nice and sharp. The sheath is exceptional - great belt loop. Finally, Ragweed customer service is tops. Redbeard is very helpful w/ advice.

Super sharp right out of the package! These are incredibly versatile as general purpose Sloyd knives. Having already owned and used the 3.25" blade #106, I wanted to try the 2.5" #120 for even finer controlled cuts. I love the toughness and ease of sharpening of the carbon steel blades. I cold-blue them and keep them oiled to prevent rust. the handles are very comfortable and ergonomic, and provide a very positive well-controlled grip. The included plastic sheath is tough and affords good blade protection. Ragweed Forge offers a very fair price as well as expeditious shipping! Highly recommend!

Another flawless Roselli. Also, another flawless experience with Ragweed Forge.

I love these fillet blades. I used a combination of antler and leather on the handle.

Great blade. Ships fast. Great customer service.

New to knife handle making. I love the finish look of this wood.

Great blade!!! Would definitely recommend.

The perfect size crappie fillet knife. Made a special gift for a nephew.
