Roselli Hunter Full Tang R100FDD Dark Stained Handle

The steel runs the full length and width of the handle, so this version is stronger when you put real force on it, like splitting kindling (batoning), prying or heavy field dressing. You get the classic Roselli Hunter blade shape with extra strength for hard outdoor use.

Yes. The Roselli Hunter is a general-purpose hunting knife. The 3.75" blade is long enough to field dress deer and similar game, and short enough to control for careful work like caping and skinning.

The blade is high-carbon steel, valued in Scandinavia for its sharpness, easy resharpening and edge retention. Carbon steel is not stainless, so it needs some basic care

It can if you leave it wet or dirty. After use, wipe the blade clean, dry it completely and apply a thin coat of oil (food-safe mineral oil works well). Over time the blade will darken to a gray patina. This is normal, and it helps protect the steel.

The handle is finished with linseed oil, which keeps a secure grip even when your hands are wet. Wipe it clean after use and every few months rub in a little linseed oil to keep the wood nourished and water-resistant. Don’t soak it in water, and never put the knife in a dishwasher.

The blade has a classic Scandinavian (Scandi) grind. Lay the wide bevel flat on a whetstone and sharpen along the whole bevel. Beginners find this easy because the bevel itself sets the angle. Finish with a leather strop for a razor edge.
