Handy Utility Knife

I have a couple other Roselli knives with the UHC steel blades. I got this one because I wanted a small utility knife that would always be handy and sharp. The grip is both compact yet secure in my large hand.

Unlike another reviewer's experience, my sheath is fine and holds the knife securely, and receives the blade without resistance.

Good knife, disappointing sheath

Lightweight, compact, right size for 90+ percent of what I use a knife for. Means that it gets carried daily.
Sheath needs work, could be better if liner was fixed, the knife tip always hangs up on it, taking several tries to get blade in place correctly. Can see this getting worse with time. Sorry, Bearclaw isn't a cheap knife, but this sheath detracts from the value. This is all on Roselli, Redbeard's part was perfect as usual!

Good carving knife.

For traditional Scandinavian flat-plane carving this is a good knife. It holds an edge very well. Is great for doing push cuts. Very nice looking knife. Red Beard at Ragweed was very helpful. Anticipating ordering more knives from Ragweed as it is a pleasure doing business with Red Beard.

the Perfect Small Knife

This is one really great knife. First of all, good steel, wood and leather sheath. Second, excellent workmanship. Third, great utility knife - the grip makes it easy to control the blade in doing many various tasks. And finally great support from the Ragweed team. This is one sweet knife.

Loving Roselli and Ragweed Forge

I use my Roselli knives every day, carry a large Roselli on right hip and a small Roselli left front. Great hard working knives. Ragweed Forge is PERFECT and my first choice place to purchase knives just great people !!

Compact outdoor knife with versatile use. Blade in Ultra High Carbon steel and curly birch handle. Extremely sharp and long-lasting sharpness. Handmade dark leather sheath included.

The Roselli RW231 Bear Claw combines a pointy blade in UHC steel with the handle of the carpenter. It's a really serious woodcarving or detail knife.

A compact, smaller all-round knife and outdoor knife that fits in any space – and therefore a very popular and loyal companion. Many hunters choose this as their only hunting knife – since its always with them. The advantage of the short blade is that you get a good control of the knife when fitting game.

The blade is made from UHC steel (Ultra High Carbon) and the handle is stained curly birch, coated with linseed oil – which ensure a firm grip, even when wet. Comes with a handcrafted sheath of dark vegetable tanned Finnish leather.

Frequently asked questions

Where are Roselli knives made?

Roselli knives are made in Finland, where they have been crafted using traditional Finnish methods since 1976.

Will the UHC blade rust?

UHC is a carbon steel, not stainless, so it needs simple care. Wipe it clean and dry after use and apply a thin coat of oil. Over time the blade develops a dark patina, which is normal and helps protect the steel. Don’t store the knife in its leather sheath long term, since leather can hold moisture.

Can I use Roselli RW231 Bear Claw, for woodcarving and bushcraft?

Yes. The pointed blade and carpenter-style handle make it a good tool for detailed carving, notches and fine camp tasks. Because UHC steel is very hard, use it for cutting and carving rather than prying or batoning.

Is a 2.25" blade big enough for hunting?

Yes. Many hunters carry the Bear Claw as their only hunting knife. The short blade gives excellent control for field dressing, skinning and detailed work around joints, and at only 55 g (about 2 oz) it is easy to carry every time you go out.

Ragweed forge came highly recommended but I im still trying to figure out why and how because im pretty sure I was scammed not to worry however watch my lawyer turn a pending $300+ parcel order into upwards of $1300-2000$ karma.

Hi Cody,
It was nice to talk to you on the phone. As discussed. We certainly shipped your international order 10 days ago, the day that it was ordered. The package was returned to us for some reason, and we reshipped it immediately as you requested. Please be patient as we can not control international shipping. If it gets returned again instead of delivered, we would happily refund or reship, whichever you prefer. Please do not take one abnormal tracking number as a Scam... Things can certainly happen in shipping that are out of our control.
Best,
Redbeard

It turned out better than I thought

I bought a Mora 106 and put antler ,two pieces of leather, a dead Cherry 🍒 with a bunch of worm holes in it and a copper end cap. I love the way it turned out. Not done with the sheath yet.

The Olight Javelot 2 turbo was excellent

The Olight Javelot 2 turbo was excellent. The service and delivery speed was spot on. I can't wait to get some other things off his website, very unique. They look high-quality as what I received

G-Man Pruning Saw

This saw is perfect for me! It folds for easy storage and carrying. Used it to carve up an old Crepe Myrtle tree that needed to be trimmed. This saw cut through this very hard wood with very little effort.
Very happy with it. Will look for this brand for my next purchase, and will definitely get it from Ragweed Forge as the service and price is excellent!

Excellent Service and Communication

Very good experience with Ragweed Forge. My order hit a USPS routing issue and took a completely unnecessary detour through the postal system. Ragweed Forge stayed in touch, explained the situation clearly, and assured me I would receive what I ordered. The package eventually arrived, and everything was exactly as it should be. Good communication, great handling of the situation, and I will order from them again.
