I have been thinking about getting a Roselli Hunter UHC. I haven't handled one, but the blade shape looks a lot like a Fallkniven H1, which I really love except for the convex grind. Not a big fan of convex grinds on thick knives. My H1 is wickedly sharp, but for me the edge geometry makes it less than ideal for woods chores. Not a bad hunting knife (as intended) but cutting skin and flesh is a bit different than cutting saplings and carving wood. The natural question would be "Why not get the Roselli Carpenter's Knife?". I probably will, eventually, but I have other small carving knives and really want to give the Hunter a try.
Just wondering if anyone here owns one and would offer their feedback to inform my decision. Is the grind a full scandi or does it have a secondary bevel? Is the UHC version prone to chipping when used on dry hardwoods? I know Roselli's Carpenter's knife comes in UHC, so I assume the UHC option is not a problem, but real life info would be great. Some pictures of the knife in use would be great, too. Any advice or opinions would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks,
