Yeah, I have the Carpenter's Knife. It's more like the stereotypical puukko than other Roselli knives, although I've heard good things about the Hunter and Grandfather models.
The Roselli that I have is easily the sharpest and most ergonomic knife that I own. The thin blade is truely vorpal and the handle feels great in many different grips.
Modern American knives tend to have thick edges and thin handles, to avoid frequent sharpening and allow comfortable carrying. However, the thick edges don't slice as well and the thin, flat handles are quite awkward when compared to a "real" handle.
Plus, it's also nice to get away from the fancy locks for awhile. Roselli knives use the famous "non-lock", which you just can't beat for strength and durablitiy.
I haven't met anyone who collects Roselli knives, but you've got to figure that at least some people out there do. Since Roselli offers a wide variety of knives, including some really nice ones (like the Ultra High Carbon and wootz models), you'd think that they would appeal to collectors.
