Roselli R113D The Carving Knife (Short Blade)- Red Elm

The same precision Roselli carving knife — in rich red elm.

The Roselli R113D Short-Blade Carving Knife with Red Elm Handle brings the same hand-forged precision and Scandi Grind Zero performance as its curly birch sibling, but features a distinctive red elm handle — a darker, richer-grained wood that develops a deep character patina over time. For carvers who prefer their tools to wear their stories visibly.

The Roselli Carving Knife is hand-forged by Roselli Knives in Finland — one of the country's most celebrated knifemakers. The shorter 68 mm blade variant is purpose-built for woodcarvers who need precision over power, with the iconic Scandi Grind Zero feature that Roselli pioneered for exceptional sharpness on the most detailed work.
