My first Roselli, and yes I'll try a knife in the W75 but wanted to try this steel. As a carpenter of many years I'm pretty "sensitive" to steels/tools etc and will be using this as a larger wood knife along with numerous smaller carving blades.I've both the Roselli Carpenter and the Roselli UHC Carpenter and UHC Hunter. Frankly, I like the regular Carpenter better. I find UHC steel a b*tch to sharpen, even light honing. (I'm a good sharpener- 70 years freehand). The UHC holds an edge a wee bit longer, but to me not worth the effort.
If you upgrade to a Gold membership: uploading photos is easy-peasey, and you also gain the ability to send and receive Personal Messages...Can't seem to download a pic but just recieved a Roselli UHC hunter. Beautiful little knife with great carbon steel.

I work an insane* amount of OT, and use the overwhelming majority of it in the usual “financially smart” ways. I do occasionally treat myself to some nice things though. It just happened that a lot came available in a very short time period. I also am lucky to qualify for significant discounts on some knives as a professional firefighter/paramedic.
*I am in a very small, uniquely qualified group of supervisors at my fire department that can work a number of very specialized positions, so I frequently work as much or more OT in a week than most full time people work in regular hours.
Many moons ago I purchased nearly every “sr77 proto” they brought to the Golden Manor Hotel Show (knob creek). One of the big ones I sold to a guy and after he used it somewhat hard it took on one of the more odd effed up edges I had ever seen. Will try and remember to dig the pics up for ya. Was wild.A big chunk of S7 (10 x 0.28”) is heading this way
