This special knife is aimed at mastering root vegetables - but is equally competent at most other tasks around the kitchen. The blade is made of UHC (Ultra High Carbon Steel) and the handle of heat-treated oiled birch wood. Comes with a knife rack in birch, also with an oil coating. Made, ground and perfected by hand in Harmoinen, Finland. Every product is unique. The pattern and texture of natural materials may vary. Hardened to 63 HRC, not rustproof.

Ultra High Carbon Steel (UHC, not rustproof)

Aluminium-alloyed lightweight steels, also known as UHC steels, have a density about ten percent lower than today's high-performance steel and are correspondingly lighter, with similar strength. UHC stands for Ultra High Carbon. To produce this material, the steel is alloyed with a corresponding proportion of aluminium and 1.8 % carbon and is actually considered impossible or extremely difficult to forge. It takes an enormous amount of experience to develop a process that makes forging this material into a knife blade possible in the first place. But only Heimo Roselli himself knows how this ultra-hard steel with a Rockwell hardness of 62-68 HRC and a tensile strength of approx. 2500 N/mm² becomes flexible and thus usable. He had the special forging technique and heat treatment required for this protected as a process.
