Free Engraving

How we engrave your Roselli

Make your knife or axe truly yours with a custom engraving. We use precision laser engraving to create a lasting mark on the blade. Whether it’s a name, date, or a short phrase, your engraving makes each Roselli unique.  Simply add your engraving in the designated engraving box before checkout.

What should I engrave?

The hardest part of engraving is often deciding what to engrave! The most common requests are names, dates, or years – perfect for marking a special person or life event. For the best result, we recommend keeping your engraving within 25 characters. If you’d like something more custom, such as a logo, please contact us at info@roselli.fi.

Product description

Roselli's hand made Overstrike Guard protects your axe handle from shocks and blows and allows you to easily swing your axe without worrying about damage to the axe handle. The Overstrike Guard sits on the part of the shaft that is just below the axe head and prevents the shaft from hitting what you are chopping. Lace the guard around your axe handle and then you're ready to chop your wood without any worry.

All Roselli's Overstrike Guards are handcrafted from vegetable Finnish leather in our factory in Harmoinen, Finland. Each product is unique. Pattern and texture in natural materials may vary.

Available in both light and dark leather.

  • I bought my first Roselli knives in 1990

    I bought my first Roselli knives in 1990 – the Carpenter’s Knife and Grandmother’s Tooth. These knives have accompanied my wife and me all over the world. The quality of Roselli products is outstanding. Today, I own several Roselli knives and axes, and it’s time to try the free sharpening service. Thank you for still making such wonderful, handcrafted products.

  • Excellent craftsmanship!

    I have purchased several knives and and axes with accessories directly from Roselli and from Finnwerk in Germany. I use them myself and have also gladly given them as gifts to the delight of the new owners. The quality of the craftsmanship is excellent. The lifetime warranty and unlimited sharpening service are unique features that other manufacturers do not offer. I can only warmly recommend every single piece of this craftsmanship.

  • I'm completely satisfied

    I'm completely satisfied – the blade is sharp and well-balanced, the handle is excellent, beautiful, and perfectly sized for a secure grip. Using your knife is a great experience every day. TOP!!!!

  • Had mine for 7 years!

    I bought a kitchen knife from Roselli about 7 years ago – and the sharpness lasted impressively long! Around a year and a half ago, I had it sharpened locally. I've now used Roselli’s sharpening service for the first time, and I’m very pleased with the result!

    Michael

  • Never without my Roselli!

    Never head out without my Roselli, at least one of them. They all hold a good edge. My 19 inch Axe splits firewood like butter and my Grandfather knife is always on my belt, if not my Heimo. Good steel and comfortable wood handles.

  • Roselli Carving knife

    A very nice carving knife. Made from carbon steel. Sharp and I'm sure it is sharp for a long time.

    Raf

  • I own 10 knives from Roselli!

    Over the years, I have bought many knives of various types from various companies. That changed when I got my first knife from Roselli. I was thrilled and realized what a proper knife should look like. Since then, I have had 10 different knives from Roselli, including kitchen knives and also an axe. Amazing quality and craftsmanship. I highly recommend them to everyone.

    Milan

  • Roselli is irreplaceable!

    I have been using Roselli knives for about 2 years. Great for survival, preparing meat and fish, and also good for bushcraft. Roselli's steel is extremely compatible with fire steel. I also love the history of Roselli. For me, Roselli is irreplaceable.

    Kouya

  • Best small bushcraft knife!

    The Carpenter is the best small bushcraft knife I ever had. Beautiful, comfortable, light as a feather, has a very good edge geometry and factory sharpness, and keeps that edge for a long-long time. And when it's time to strop, it takes no time to get that scary edge back. My other purchase was the Hunter. The handle is a bit too big for my hand, but I love the bladeshape very much. I can definitely see why it is such a popular knife! I will probably buy a blade and make my own handle to fit me better. I will definitely get a Carving Knife and a Roselli Axe too!

    Bence

  • I have almost all of Roselli's knives!

    I now have almost all of Roselli's knives and the axe with a short handle, all of them are simply fantastic.

  • Great Quality & Support
