Roselli's Grandmother Knife is a beautiful hobby knife with a forged carbon steel blade. The Finnish name 'Mummunhammas' ('Grandma's tooth') comes from the past when the elderly used knives to mince food after they had lost their teeth. The Grandmother Knife has a birch handle, coated with linseed oil, and ensures a firm grip even when wet. Comes with a simple handcrafted sheath made from tanned leather.
All Roselli knives are handmade and come with natural birch wood handles that vary in tone and grain. Each one is unique! Carbon steel blade - care notes below.

Carbon steel blade care: carbon steel knives require extra care to prevent rusting and oxidisation of the surface. These knives should not be placed in a dishwasher or allowed to soak in water. After use we recommend cleaning the blade with a damp sponge or cloth and dry thoroughly, and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the blade’s surface. If your blade shows signs of rust, use some steel wool to remove it and then apply some oil to the blade. To keep the blade razor sharp, use a honing, or sharpening, steel. After some use, the steel blade will develop a patina, a darkening which is desirable and an indication of its age.
Roselli knives are made in Harmoinen, Finland at the workshop founded by blade-smith Heimo Roselli. A self-taught smith, Heimo started forging in 1974 and since 1976 he has been making knives full time. Roselli makes simple, unique and great looking knives using carbon steel blades, birch handles and leather sheaths.
