Tried Out The Roselli

[The Warrior]

Took the Roselli to my cabin this past weekend, and chopped a bit with it. Interesting axe. A bit of a learning curve, but worked well:

The head is so thick, I figured it would split well. It did, but the shorter handle made it a bit inconvenient:

It feathered well. Well, if I could feather that is, haha. It's basically like using a scandi grind knife:

The bearded head allows you to get your hand behind it:

With my 11, and one of my flint strikers:

Pretty cool axe. I'm happy with it, and glad I got it.

Hyvä kirves!! Nice axe, it's a really interesting shape for an axe. How is the weight, is it balanced?

Thanks man.

Here's some specs I found:

Measurements:
Blade: 90 mm
Length: 460 mm
Total weight: 850 g

Balances well. Here's a nice review of it, comparing it to an HB sm Forest axe:

Thank you. I think I will stay with my trusty old friend Scandi forest axe.

Thanks man. I'd been eying one down for quite some time myself. Was a great Christmas gift.
